Protected Mode Software Architecture (Paperback)

Protected Mode Software Architecture helps readers understandthe problems that single-task and multitasking operating systems must dealwith, and then examines each component of both the real and protected modesoftware architectures. This book is organized into three parts. Part One:Background introduces the reader to the problems faced by a multitaskingoperating system. Part Two: Register Set and Real Mode provides anoverview of Real Mode operation. Part Three: Protected Mode takes abuilding-block approach to explaining the protection mechanisms andmultitasking capabilities of the post-286 Intel processors, includingsegmentation, virtual paging, the flat model, and virtual 8086 mode.Protected Mode Software Architecture extends MindShare's coverage ofx86 processor architecture to the software environment and complements thepreviously published 80486 System Architecture and Pentium ProcessorSystem Architecture (both from Addison-Wesley). If you design or test multitasking operating systems, real-time operatingsystems, or device drivers for these systems, Protected Mode SoftwareArchitecture is an essential, time-saving tool.The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensiveset of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title isdesigned to illustrate the relationship between the software and hardware andthoroughly explains the architecture, features, and operations of systems builtusing one particular type of chip or hardware specification.MindShare, Inc., is one of the leading technical training companies in thecomputer industry, providing innovative courses for dozens of companies,including Intel, IBM, and Compaq. 020155447XB04062001

《保護模式軟體架構》幫助讀者了解單任務和多任務作業系統所面臨的問題，並詳細探討了實模式和保護模式軟體架構的每個組件。本書分為三個部分。第一部分：背景介紹了多任務作業系統所面臨的問題。第二部分：寄存器集和實模式提供了實模式操作的概述。第三部分：保護模式以模塊化的方式解釋了後286 Intel處理器的保護機制和多任務能力，包括分段、虛擬分頁、平面模型和虛擬8086模式。《保護模式軟體架構》擴展了MindShare對x86處理器架構的覆蓋範圍，並補充了之前出版的《80486系統架構》和《奔騰處理器系統架構》（均由Addison-Wesley出版）。如果您設計或測試多任務作業系統、實時作業系統或這些系統的設備驅動程式，《保護模式軟體架構》是一個必不可少且節省時間的工具。《PC系統架構系列》是一套精簡且全面的指南，介紹了最重要的PC硬體標準。每本書旨在說明軟體和硬體之間的關係，並詳細解釋使用特定類型的晶片或硬體規格構建的系統的架構、特性和操作。MindShare, Inc.是電腦行業領先的技術培訓公司之一，為包括Intel、IBM和Compaq在內的數十家公司提供創新的課程。
