HP-UX 11i Internals
HP-UX under the hood: practical insight for optimization and troubleshooting
To maximize the performance, efficiency, and reliability of your HP-UX sysem, you need to know what's going on under the hood. HP-UX 11i Internals goes beyond generic UNIX internals, showing exactly how HP-UX works in PA-RISC environments.
HP experts Cooper and Moore systematically illuminate HP-UX kernel data structures and algorithms for memory management, process and thread scheduling, I/O control, files and file systems, resource management, and more. They focus on HP-UX 11i, while also offering valuable insight for those using earlier versions.
PA-RISC architecture: register set, virtual memory, key instructions, and procedure calling conventions
HP-UX kernel organization: hardware-dependent and independent data structures
Process and thread management: proc tables, memory management, scheduling, and the complete process/thread lifecycle
System-wide memory resources: allocation and mapping to physical memory
HP-UX paging and swapping
Files and filesystems: traditional UNIX filesystems, HFS, VFS, and dynamic buffer cache
I/O and device management: addressing, DMA, interrupts, device files, I/O configuration, device driver assignments, and I/O request pathways
Logical Volume Management (LVM): abstracting physical disks from the disk I/O system
HP-UX multiprocessing: challenges, data structures, and interfaces
Kernel communication services: semaphores, message queues, shared memory, signals, and the kernel "callout" system
Signaling in complex threaded environments
System initialization, from vmunix to init: running HP-UX on diverse platforms
Whether you administer HP-UX, tune it, troubleshoot it, or write kernel modules for it, you'll find HP-UX 11i Internals indispensable.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
