What reading level is Spectrum of Computer Systems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Consideration of these items is left to that section. To summarize, then, in a regular multiprogramming system the pro- cessor has the ability--through the executive program--to work on several programs at once, thus more efficiently using the computational speed of the main processor. However the user, perhaps at the end of a terminal, has no guarantee when his program will be started. Response time for any user is a function of the number of jobs which precede him in the queue, unless, of cou...rse, there is some form of priority interrupt system. A slightly different form of multiprogramming known as foreground/ background is found in which some remote device may transmit a message for - 15 - processing, which interrupts the processor and transfers control to another program or programs which process the message according to its content. In this case the systein is primarily used for some operation--say regular batch processing--bvit an interrupt system triggered by a remote device, switches the main processor to another program to deal with this interrupt.
