Operating System

Operating Systems introduces the fundamental concepts of modern operating systems, using both open-source UNIX/Linux-based systems and commercial platforms like Windows as examples. The course covers OS structure and components, processes and threads, CPU scheduling, synchronization and deadlocks, memory and virtual memory, I/O, file and storage systems, and basic security, reinforced through practical examples, case studies, and hands-on work.

About the course

The course on the concepts behind operating systems - the software that manages a computer’s hardware. It provides a basis for application programs and interface between the user and computer hardware. Operating systems are everywhere, in cars, home appliances, smart phones, personal computers, enterprise computers, and in clouds. The course explores the role of an operating system in a modern computing environment starting with the organization and architecture of computer hardware - CPU, memory, I/O devices and storage. Operating system is responsible to allocate these resources to programs. Operating system is large and complex, consisting of pieces that are well-delineated portion of the system, with carefully defined inputs, outputs, and functions. The course covers data structures used in operating systems, computing environments, and open-source and free operating systems. It describes the fundamental concepts behind operating systems, and examines the ways that design goals can be achieved.
