Course Overview
|
Course Synopsis
|
This course focuses on the processes, synchronization, scheduling, multi-threaded applications, deadlocks, memory management, and file systems. Linux and Windows are general purpose operating systems used as examples when studying and applying above concepts. Laboratory assignments of process/thread synchronization, process communication, and file systems are expected.

Course Learning Outcomes
|
At the end of the course, you should be able to:
- Grasp the working of an operating system
- Analyze the synchronization process
- Identify the working methodology of multithreaded applications
- Determine the reasons of deadlocks in an operating system
- Find the management of different type of memories in the computer system
- Compare different file systems being used in different operating systems
