The coverage spans concepts and tools, operating system models, portability, scalability, symmetric multiprocessing, and virtualization-based security. Key technical areas include environment subsystems, kernel and executive components, hardware abstraction layer, device drivers, and the relationships between processes, threads, jobs, objects and handles, and security-relevant mechanisms.","Windows Internals Seventh Edition  \nPart 1  \nSystem architecture, processes, threads, memory management, and more  \nPavel Yosifovich, Alex Ionescu,  \nMark E.
