Abstract: From the Publisher:
Since the introduction of Linux version 12 in March 1995, a worldwide community has evolved derived from programmers who were attracted by the reliability and flexibility of this completely free operating system Now at version 20, Linux is no longer simply the operating system of choice for hackers, but is being successfully employed in commercial software development, by Internet providers and in research and teaching
This book is written for anybody who wants to learn more about Linux It explains the inner mechanisms of Linux from process scheduling to memory management and file systems, and will tell you all you need to know about the structure of the kernel, the heart of the Linux operating system

TL;DR: The closer analysis of the propagation patterns indicates that it is feasible to identify strategic locations for embedding additional assertions in the source code of a given subsystem to detect errors and, hence, to prevent propagation.

- 25 Jun 2001
TL;DR: This implementation of a predictive prefetching system, that makes use of file access patterns to reduce I/O latency, is presented and it is examined how aPrefetching policy, that uses such models to predict upcoming accesses, can result in large reductions inI/O latencies.
