This course provides an introduction to operating system design and implementation. The operating system provides a well-known, convenient, and efficient interface between user programs and the bare hardware of the computer on which they run. The operating system is responsible for allowing resources (e.g., disks, networks, and processors) to be shared, providing common services needed by many different programs (e.g., file service, the ability to start or stop processes, and access to the printer), and protecting individual programs from one another. The course will start with a brief historical perspective of the evolution of operating systems over the last fifty years, and then cover the major components of most operating systems. This discussion will cover the tradeoffs that can be made between performance and functionality during the design and implementation of an operating system. Particular emphasis will be given to three major OS subsystems: process management (processes, threads, CPU scheduling, synchronization, and deadlock), memory management
(segmentation, paging, swapping), file systems, protection and security, and operating system support for distributed systems This course is intended for undergraduate Computer Science and Computer Engineering majors (junior and senior students) and for MS students. Part 1: Introduction What is an operating system? Why operating system is important? History of operating system Operating systems and architecture
Part 2: Process management Processes, threads CPU scheduling Synchronization Deadlock
Part 3: Memory management Explicit memory management Virtual memory Paging & page replacement algorithms Virtual memory in the real world
Part 4: File systems File system I/O management Storage system Part 6: Advanced topics Networking, Protection & Security
