Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces

The book is centered around three conceptual pieces that are fundamental to operating systems: virtualization, concurrency, and persistence. In understanding the conceptual, you will also learn the practical, including how an operating system does things like schedule the CPU, manage memory, and store files persistently. Lots of fun stuff! Or maybe not so fun?

The Real Novelty of the ARPANET

If you run an image search for the word “ARPANET,” you will find lots of maps showing how the government research network expanded steadily across the country throughout the late ’60s and early ’70s.

I hope this will make people’s lives a bit easier and make bash a bit more straight forward. That being said, I love bash.

In this case it is a nail.

Time, Clocks and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System
