Strongly recommend this source of study for anyone interested in how operating systems work, their differences, and being able to formulate educated opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of them.

It’s a truly mind blowing book. Makes everything made sense. Have you read it yet? Interested to hear your experience.

Only partially when I was still studying. It's quite big 😂 But the chapters about processes, threads and the one about deadlocks have been burned into my brain and have helped me several times.

Working in real time embedded, the section on scheduling was really awesome for me as well. I felt like he explained things in a way I could understand.

That's why it's still called the benchmark on these topics.

Part of an epic era.
