books about: kernels     books:       Professional Linux Kernel Architecture (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)1 review Wolfgang Mauerer Wrox, 2008 a Real Professional Book Excelent book, I still don't finish reading it but so far is the best book in the subject, period.             Rootkits: Subverting the Windows Kernel (Addison-Wesley Software Security Series)21 reviews Greg Hoglund, Jamie Butler Addison-Wesley Professional, 2005 Excellent intermediate/advanced security book I finally picked up this book last year and throughoughly enjoyed it. I keep referring to it because the examples build up to the point of qualified proof of concept. The examples also are different enough from the other ones that are easy to find with Google, so between the two you get a complete view of the vulnerable issue. The book's title should be obvious enough; this is NOT a book of ...             Understanding the Linux Kernel, Third Edition19 reviews Daniel Bovet, Marco Cesati O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 The comments needed by the Linux code These are the comments needed to understand Linux code, very helpful and thorough. The authors are knowledgeable, and explain the material well.             Linux Kernel Development (2nd Edition) (Novell Press)38 reviews Robert Love Novell Press, 2005 Excellent Book I heartily recommend this book to anyone doing Linux Kernel or Kernel module development. Although the Modules chapter could be expanded upon, the rest of the book gives excellent insight into the workings of the 2.6 Kernel. Also, the three appendices provide good examples and additional information. This book has provided invaluable information for completing and documenting a complex project ...             Solaris Internals(TM): Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris Kernel Architecture (2nd Edition) (Solaris Series)8 reviews Richard McDougall, Jim Mauro Prentice Hall PTR, 2006 This is THE BOOK for Solaris internals Well written and detailed. If you wish or need to know about the internals of Solaris this book is the source. This is a second edition and covers 10 and updates information on 8 and 9. The first edition covered 2.5.1, 2.6, and 7. I liked the first edition and waited for this edition based on the books/authors web site and have not be disappointed. Highly recommended, a reasonable background in ...             Learning with Kernels: Support Vector Machines, Regularization, Optimization, and Beyond (Adaptive ...8 reviews Bernhard Schlkopf, Alexander J. Smola The MIT Press, 2001 machine learning via support vector machines and kernels The authors are young researchers who did their Ph.D. research in this rapidly developing branch of pattern recognition. Because they are young and are at the state of the art in the filed the book has sevral advantages and disadvantages and what I see as a disadvantage someone else might view as an advantage. Anyway here is my view. Advantage 1: Pattern recognition is a field of many ...             Linux Kernel Programming (3rd Edition)28 reviews Michael Beck, Harald Bohme, ... Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002 Great intro to Linux internals I found the explanations in this book to be very clear, giving enough detail for a good head start into Linux internals. The book briefly explains the OS concepts, such as semaphores, virtual memory, etc., followed by an overview of how each is implemented in Linux, and code snippets. Most of the code snippets are simplified for readability, which I found useful because the hacks can be ...             Linux Kernel in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly)) (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))3 reviews Greg Kroah-Hartman O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006 Great Kernel reference... Nowadays its less common for a user to have to compile a kernel, but there are times that if you don't do it a given device will no work properly (or at all). Despite the huge amount of Linux distributions available none is able to fulfill every user requirement. Configuring a laptop or installing a server requires different sets of modules with imply reconfiguring and recompiling the kernel. If ...             An Introduction to Support Vector Machines and Other Kernel-based Learning Methods7 reviews Nello Cristianini, John Shawe-Taylor Cambridge University Press, 2000 This is it ! The book is just great. The appendix on algorithms could have more explanations. Also the application section is a short. It would have been more usuful to take one of these applicaitons and describe it in details. But all in all, the book is excellent.             MicroC OS II: The Real Time Kernel (With CD-ROM)27 reviews Jean J. Labrosse CMP Books, 2002 uC/OS-II documentation + RTOS book This book is not only the documentation of the uC/OS-II RTOS. It also presents many of the general real-time programming concepts in a very pedagogical manner. I found the book very helpful.             Undigested Kernel: The Vacation Pictures of Scott Harrison1 review Scott Harrison Last Gasp/La Luz de Jesus, 2008 A genuine Barn Buster, this one... A perfect Christmas gift. Whether it becomes a nighttime story for the grandchildren or an overdue "thank you" for your pilates coach, Undigested Kernel is the gift of gifts. I even gave one to myself. Get lost in Scott Harrison's art. It is pure genius. It will make you laugh while feeling romantic. This book has the ability to mutate into something different each time I gaze into its ...             Kernel Methods for Pattern Analysis7 reviews John Shawe-Taylor, Nello Cristianini Cambridge University Press, 2004 coherent and accessible reference, ready-to-use algorithms This work presents a coherent overview of an important field in machine learning. The unifying framework of kernel methods has proven state of the art results and the community has been waiting for a book like this to make both theory and practice of kernel methods accesssible for readers of all different backgrounds (researchers, students, practioners from both academia and industry, ...). ...             A Kernel in the Pod: The Adventures of a Midlevel Clinician in a Top-Level World15 reviews J. Michael Jones Xlibris Corporation, 2002 You don't have to be in the medical field to enjoy this book I laughed myself silly and then cryed with the Jones family. I think that life is sometimes stranger than fiction. I found it spellbinding. I think that Mike's ability to land on his feet at times when it seemed impossible to do so was remarkable. I would recommend for anyone (not just those in the medical field) to read as a comment how one person can overcome discouraging circumstances.             Large-Scale Kernel Machines (Neural Information Processing) The MIT Press, 2007 Pervasive and networked computers have dramatically reduced the cost of collecting and distributing large datasets. In this context, machine learning algorithms that scale poorly could simply become irrelevant. We need learning algorithms that scale linearly with the volume of the data while maintaining enough statistical efficiency to outperform algorithms that simply process a random subset of the data. This volume offers researchers and ...             Expert Trading Systems: Modeling Financial Markets with Kernel Regression8 reviews John R. Wolberg Wiley, 2000 Correction One reviewer states that the author hides the fact that he is associated with the company that commercially exploits the software discussed in the book. However, in the Acknowledgements section of the book, the author acknowledges the two software engineers from Insightware who helped him develop the software. In other words, there is no attempt on the part of the author to hide his ongoing ...             The Shell and the Kernel: Renewals of Psychoanalysis, Volume 1 Nicolas Abraham, Maria Torok University Of Chicago Press, 1994 This volume is a superb introduction to the richness and originality of Abraham and Torok's approach to psychoanalysis and their psychoanalytic approach to literature. Abraham and Torok advocate a form of psychoanalysis that insists on the particularity of any individual's life story, the specificity of texts, and the singularity of historical situations. In what is both a critique and an extension of Freud, they develop interpretive strategies ...             FreeDOS Kernel; An MS-DOS Emulator for Platform Independence and Embedded Systems Development3 reviews Pat Villani CMP Books, 1996 Excellent text from many perspectives. The author really made the text flow by providing a high level view and then peeling back each layer to reveal the working of the kernel. In addition, he judiciously intermixed, text (historical, theoretical, practical, opinions) with diagrams, and code segments, which made the book easy to read, and concepts easy to follow. The code was written in a clean and consistant style, amply annotated ...             Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces in Probability and Statistics Alain Berlinet, Christine Thomas-Agnan Springer, 2003 Since the first papers laying its foundations as a subfield of Complex Analysis the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) has proved to be a powerful tool in many fields of Pure and Applied Mathematics, and in particular in Probability and Statistics. Nowadays, the applied mathematician who wants to understand applications or handle problems involving RKHS has to refer to papers scattered in a huge body of literature. ...             NonStop Kernel System Administration3 reviews Inamullah Abdulmatin BookSurge Publishing, 2006 A NonStop thumbs up for sure!! This is a stellar, handy-dandy guide and reference for HP NonStop System Managers to Customer Engineers to Operations Support Staff. It's even small enough to carry with one's tool kit or keep with their laptop, etc. HP NonStop (aka Tandem Computers of yesteryear) books have been far overdue to finally make it to the public bookshelves...when, in reality, these little-known HP NonStop systems ...             The Innermost Kernel1 review Suzanne Gieser Springer, 2005 What work! Dr. Gieser has done more than recount, she has sensitively synthesized, created and advanced a beautiful platform for understanding the purpose of two different but similarly driven giants.
