Course Objectives This course is designed to teach fundamental issues of operating systems such as processes, threads, scheduling, synchronization and deadlocks, and managing resources.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe the basic concepts of modern operating systems
  • Illustrate the concept of a process and concurrency (synchronization, mutual exclusion, and deadlocks)
  • Describe deadlock avoidance, detection, prevention and recovery
  • Identify solution strategies, including semaphores, monitors, condition variables and threads
  • Identify scheduling policies
  • Discuss the concepts of physical memory and memory management
Course Content Basic design principles of operating systems, single-user systems, command interpreter, semaphores, deadlock detection, recovery, prevention and avoidance; multi-user OS; resource managers, processor management and algorithms, memory management: partitioning, paging, segmentation and thrashing; device management; interrupt handlers, device drivers
