The IA-64 Linux kernel makes extraordinary power available to every Linux developer. In "IA-64 Linux Kernel: Design and Implementation," the kernel project's leaders systematically present every major subsystem, introducing interfaces used by Linux to abstract platform differences, showing how these interfaces are used in IA-64, and illuminating key issues associated with Linux kernel operation on any platform. Covers processes, tasks, threads, virtual memory, I/O, symmetric multiprocessing, bootstrapping, and more.
