Category: Computer / Operating System
Synopsis:
In this book we address ourselves to the full spectrum of systems programming endeavors, Including the use and Implementation of assemblers, macros, loaders, compilers, and operating systems. We present each of these components In detail, exposing the pertinent design issues.
The issues are discussed within the context of modern computer languages and advanced operating systems; It Is recognized that in addition to the traditional compiler problem of syntax and semantics, we now have storage allocation and accessing methods to contend with, and* that file systems, multiprocessing, and multiprogramming are now commonplace In operating systems. To introduce the more formal aspects of computer science, we have included a presentation of formal systems and their application to programming languages
The book is written as a text, with problems and exercises, with particular emphasis on the problems and examples. We have assumed that the reader has had experience In some high level language.
An attempt has been made to keep the book as machine-independent as possible; the text has, in fact, been used In conjunction with several different types of machines.
However, to add substance to the book, we have taken specific examples from an IBM 360/370 type machine and, in our discussion of compilers, from languages with features like those exhibited in PL/I.
The book covers material contained in six courses of Curriculum 68 as described by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Curriculum Committee in Computer Science
