Course Content
:

This course examines the important prob
lems in operating system design and implementation.
The operating system provides an established, convenient, and efficient interface between user
programs and the bare hardware of the computer on which they run. The operating system is
responsible for sha
ring resources (e.g., disks, networks, and processors), 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 interfering

with
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), and file systems; and on operating system support for distributed systems.
