Solution Operating System Concepts By Galvin,Silberschatz Solved By Abhishek Pharkya Part 1: Theory What is the primary difference between a kernel-level context switch between processes (address spaces) and a user-level context switch? The primary difference is that kernel-level context switches involve execution of OS code.

It's a textbook on Operating Systems. There's not really all that much to say about it beyond that, so instead I will compare it to two other OS textbooks that I've read, 'Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective' by Gary Nutt and 'Modern Operating Systems' by Tanenbaum, generally regarded as the seminal textbook on the subject.
OS Concepts is, to put it bluntly, very dry. This is somewhat expected with a book on Operating Systems, but the level of dryness is worth noting. I often found the book d...more

You learn operating systems by reading operating system source code, not the dinosaur book.
Very helpful and if you are IT person, you will have read it decades ago.
I mean schools usually give a course where this book is the reference, if not the only material.

Serves as a great complement to more applied books like Linux Kernel Development or Linux Device Drivers, filling all remaining theoretical gaps and providing the history of OS evolution.
Fits well for self-study. Almost every exercise, which there is a lot of, has a reference solution available either on the book's website or in the instructor's manual for the 7th edition, which can be easily found on the internet.

I read most of this book word by word and I am still pissed at what a waste of time that was.
If you want to learn, read tanenbaum.
If its for a class, I wish you luck, since with a professor who has chosen such a book you will probably need it.

it's a good book! but you need to keep eye on other books to don't miss any point!
Monotone and obtuse.
Has an affinity for fancy words - which normally ignites my interest, but not in this case somehow.

Like most people, this was the text used for my operating systems course. I found it to be incredibly hard to follow at times and quite boring. Some people might argue that it's hard to make content like this interesting, but I found other authors, such as Andrew Tanenbaum, cover the material much faster and in a more understandable way. My main issue is that it assumes knowledge on some things but will explain others in an inconsistent manner. I generally had to search for a quite a few things...more

A fantastic overview of operating systems and the components that make them up. Generally not detailed enough for implementations, but there are other good books for that. This book is nearly completely self contained, although I would recommend doing all the example problems at the end of each chapter and then at least one of the programming assignments. They will really help hammer home your understanding of the concepts.
One of the recommended textbooks on operating systems. If not reading this for your course, it's not really a book you want to read cover to cover but something you refer to when you want to understand the fundamentals on a topic.
While it's better structured than Tanenbaum's 'Modern Operating Systems', it's also certainly less entertaining.

It's hard to make a book on operating systems interesting but the dino book does a pretty good job. Another challenge is making things general to all operating systems without making vacuous statements which Silberschatz does well.
it is complex but necessary for every programmer and all information technology person. i loved it .
Very compact & clear but a bit boring.
It is a very clear and easy to read to learn the basics and even more advanced concepts that involve operating systems.

I remember this being one of my most-loved books in university ... operating systems was one of my favourite courses and this textbook kept me incredibly fascinating. It was also, at least for me, overwhelmingly dense since in university I was being piled under new concepts that didn't sink in due to lack of practical application and general vocational immaturity.

I read the fourth edition, from 95. I think writing an OS textbook must be a difficult case of trying to achieve balance: balancing the right topics, from a sea of concepts related to operating systems and computer operation; balancing enough detail to be interesting and useful with simplicity and accessibility needed in an introductory textbook.
OS Concepts does a pretty good job of finding balance. The topics covered are pretty good: pretty much everything I think is centrally important to OS d...more

Operating Systems Concepts is a great undergraduate-level resource for its subject, focusing, as its name advertises, on the concepts behind building an operating system. Outside of the exercises, the text spends relatively little time on code examples or gritty details, relegating that to suggested reading or simply saying 'Go look at an open-source operating system!'.
This emphasis on concepts makes a great deal of sense given the variance in how to accomplish goals and the sheer amount of gro...more

It was the suggested textbook for my class on operating systems, I relied mostly on the accompanying slides rather than the gigantic book itself. That was fine in my use case but could be different for you, if so, be ready for a dry and unpleasant reading experience.
Other reviewers pointed out that there are better alternatives, namely Modern Operating Systems by Andrew S. Tanenbaum. Until I check that, I'll give this one 4 stars.

This was the required book for my first Operating Systems Concepts class. As it was my first work in the subject, I have not read any similar books to compare and have no pre-existing knowledge to cross-check. With that novice disclaimer, I found this book to be very straightforward and readable with a number of relevant and up-to-date examples. Overall, a good outline of the requirements, components, and algorithms of a generic operating system.
