A. Silberschatz, P.B. Galvin and G. Gagne. Operating System Concepts. Sixth edition. John Wiley & Sons, 2002.
In addition, lab instructions will be distributed. Students not well versed in C may find it useful to purchase a C-book, e.g., The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie.
An interesting book on threads is: Threads Primer: A Guide to Multithreaded Programming by Bill Lewis and Daniel J. Berg (Prentice Hall, 1995).
