Course Organization Questions?

Course Objectives You are expected to u u u learn basic concepts and principles behind the design of operating systems get exposed to the problems operating systems designers face, explore the tradeoffs and solutions to these problems see how are these issues solved in practice in real operating systems be able to apply these concepts and techniques in relevant circumstances get some hands-on experience programming OS type problems (process creation, inter-process-communications, process synchronization, mutual exclusion, deadlock avoidance)

Topics Covered n n n What Operating Systems Do Computer-System Organization Computer-System Architecture Operating-System Structure Operating-System Operations Process Management Memory Management Storage and I/O Management Protection and Security Distributed Systems Special-Purpose Systems Computing Environments Background/intro The main stuff Advanced topics, not covered in this course

Topics Covered Introduction/Background/Overview u u Computer systems overview Operating systems overview: interface, system calls, design and implementation issues, OS structure Process Management u u u Processes and threads Interprocess communication CPU scheduling – algorithms and criteria Process/thread synchronization – problems and solutions Deadlocks – prevention, avoidance, detection, recovery

Topics Covered (contd. ) Memory Management u u Basic main memory management (swapping, contiguous memory allocation, paging, segmentation) Virtual memory (demand paging, copy-on-write, page replacement, allocating kernel memory) Storage Management and Input/Output u u u File-System interface (files, directories, mounting file system, file sharing) File-System implementation Mass-storage structure (disk structure, scheduling, management) Swap space management I/O systems (hardware, application I/O interface, kernel I/O subsystem)
