This book is intended as a textbook for a one-semester course in file systems. The course is similar in content to the ACM curriculum '78 course CS 5, but differs in that a course in data structures is assumed as a prerequisite. Many of the standard topics of a data structures course are either directly applicable to file system problems, or are very similar to the structures and algorithms used in file systems, making a good foundation for the study of files. A data structure is defined, then algorithms and applications are discovered that are appropriate to the structure. File systems is a natural extension of data structures both in subject matter and methods.

I have implemented a prototype log-structured file system called Sprite LFS; it outperforms current Unix file systems by an order of magnitude for small-file writes and matches or exceeds Unix performance for reads and large writes. Even when the overhead for cleaning is included, Sprite LFS can use 70% of the disk bandwidth for writing. Unix file systems typically can use only 5-10%.

The report describes a methodology for the analysis and synthesis of modern general purpose file systems. The two basic concepts developed are (1) establishment of a uniform representation of a file's structure in the form of virtual memory or segmentation and (2) determination of a hierarchy of logical transformations within a file system. These concepts are used together to form a strictly hierarchical organization (after Dijkstra) such that each transformation can be described as a function of its lower neighboring transformation. In a sense, the complex file system is built up by the composition of simple functional transformations. To illustrate the specifics of the design process, a file system is synthesized for an environment including a multi-computer network, structured file directories, and removable volumes.

Operating systems are a vital program of any computer system and computer science education. This book introduces the design concepts of operating systems. As computer is eventually embedding in every area though Operating Systems is undergoing express transformation. More sophisticated operating system level software’s are developing in every arena of day-to-day life. This book is dedicatedly written for description of operating system concepts from initial to expert level with help of sophisticated and real world examples. Motive to write this book is to explain the operating system concepts from graduation to post graduate levels through understandable descriptions. Hopefully, experts also found healthy discussions in this book. The book covers Process Management, Processes Scheduling and Inter process communication in latest technologies. This book also covers technological enhancements for leading high speed and efficient process management techniques. Further this book explains the concepts of memory hierarchy, Memory Management, Memory allocation, Paging and segmentation, Virtual memory, etc., by considering detailed architectural designs and algorithms. Core and detailed examples have been used to illustrate both traditional and modern computing memory requirements. As File System Management and IO Managements is also a major arena of Operating systems design, a firm foundation examples based text is presented in this book.
