The pace of development from early X. This book provides an overview of the advanced data networking field by bringing together chapters on local area networks, wide area networks and their application. To thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it's so efficient, you need to delve deep into the heart of the operating system--into the Linux kernel itself.
The kernel is Linux--in the case of the Linux operating system, it's the only bit of software to which the term "Linux" applies. Responsible for the sophisticated memory management of the whole system, the Linux kernel is the force behind the legendary Linux efficiency.
The new edition of Understanding the Linux Kernel takes you on a guided tour through the most significant data structures, many algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. Probing beyond the superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Relevant segments of code are dissected and discussed line by line. The book covers more than just the functioning of the code, it explains the theoretical underpinnings for why Linux does things the way it does.
The new edition of the book has been updated to cover version 2. The authors explore each new feature in detail. Other topics in the book include: Memory management including file buffering, process swapping, and Direct memory Access DMA The Virtual Filesystem and the Second Extended Filesystem Process creation and scheduling Signals, interrupts, and the essential interfaces to device drivers Timing Synchronization in the kernel Interprocess Communication IPC Program execution Understanding the Linux Kernel, Second Edition will acquaint you with all the inner workings of Linux, but is more than just an academic exercise.
You'll learn what conditions bring out Linux's best performance, and you'll see how it meets the challenge of providing good system response during process scheduling, file access, and memory management in a wide variety of environments. If knowledge is power, then this book will help you make the most of your Linux system. It's written for any PC user who wishes to make the transition to a Linux-based workstation and Linux applications.
This book is for users who want to get Linux installed and configured, and then get on with the tasks they currently accomplish with their Windows software: file maintenance, email, Web browsing, newsgroups, word processing, and spreadsheet use. Cover Title. This book focuses on the use of open source software for geospatial analysis.
It demonstrates the effectiveness of the command line interface for handling both vector, raster and 3D geospatial data. Appropriate open-source tools for data processing are clearly explained and discusses how they can be used to solve everyday tasks. With over 10, entries providing contemporary coverage of computing terms, this fully revised edition of Dictionary of Computing" provides coverage of the terms used in computing, including hardware, software, programme languages, networks and applications, e-commerce and the Internet.
Its definitions are easy to understand for readers without a background in computing and to non-native English speakers. Supplements include tables of codes and programming languages.
Each entry includes an example sentence to show how the term is used in context, with quotations from magazines and newspapers to show how terms are used in real life. Nonetheless, many network programmers recognize that their applications could be much more robust. Skeleton code and a library of common functions allow you to write applications without having to worry about routine chores.
It is certain that, over the next few years, data traffic will dwarf voice traffic on telecommunications networks. Growth in data-traffic volumes far exceeds that for voice, and is driven by increased use of applications such as e-mail attachments, remote printing and fileserver access, and the now omnipresent World Wide Web.
The growth of data networking to connect computers with each other and with their peripheral devices began in earnest in the s, took off in the s and exploded in the s. The early 21st century will see ever faster, more cost effective networks providing flexible data access into ever more businesses and homes.
Since the s there have been great advances in technology. For the past twenty years the processing power of computers has continued to grow with no hint of slowing - recall the oft-cited Moore's Law claiming that this power doubles every 18 months. Advances in the data networking equipment required to support the data traffic generated have been enormous.
The pace of development from early X. This book provides an overview of the advanced data networking field by bringing together chapters on local area networks, wide area networks and their application. Get up-and-running on UNIX quickly, use the command shell and desktop, and access the Internet and e-mail. You'll also learn to administer systems and networks, develop applications, and secure your UNIX environment.
Even if you currently use a different version of the UNIX system, such as the latest release of 4. For those professionals new to networking and UNIX system programming, two introductory chapters are provided. So that your designs are not limited to user-level, the author also explains how to write kernel-level communication software, including STREAMS drivers, modules, and multiplexors.
Many examples are provided, including an Ethernet driver and a transport-level multiplexing driver. McCune is a consultant in Chicago. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.
Do you need to develop flexible software that can be customized quickly? Do you need to add the power and efficiency of frameworks to your software? ACE's power and flexibility arise from object-oriented frameworks, used to achieve the systematic reuse of networked application software.
This book is a practical guide to designing object-oriented frameworks and shows developers how to apply frameworks to concurrent networked applications. Volume 2 explains how frameworks build on wrapper facades to provide higher-level communication services. Please note this is a Short Discount publication.
Since the first microcomputer local networks of the late 's and early 80's, personal computer LANs have expanded in popularity, especially since the introduction of IBMs first PC in The late s has seen a maturing in the industry with only a few vendors maintaining a large share of the market.
This report is intended to give the reader a thorough understanding of the technology used to build these systems The report also fully defines PC LANs and the marketplace, with in—depth details on products, configurations, features, pricing, and service, plus lists of system components and features and vendor contact.
This is the second edition of the popular practitioner's guide to SQL, the industry-standard database query language. Like most computer languages, SQL can be overwhelming when you first see it, but for years readers have relied on this book to clear the confusion and explain how SQL works and how to use it effectively.
Packed with tips, tricks, and good information, SQL Clearly Explained, Second Edition teaches database users and programmers everything they need to know to get their job done including formulating SQL queries, understanding how queries are processed by the DBMS, maximizing performance, using SQL to enter, modify, or delete data, crea Relational Database Design Clearly Explained.
Fully revised and updated, Relational Database Design, Second Edition is the most lucid and effective introduction to relational database design available.
