  4. Course Objectives • Define and explain key operating system concepts • Operating system, process, process management, scheduling, synchronization, file systems, etc • Apply key operating system techniques • Many techniques in OS are also very useful in applications. • Develop system-level programs • Using OS API (system calls) • OS implementation (Kernel module, system call, synchronization primitives, etc)

  5. Prerequisites • COP 4530 • Data structures • CDA 3101 • Computer organization

  6. Required Skills • COP4530 • Proficiency in UNIX programming and debugging environment • Proficiency in C

  7. Course Material • Lecture notes (posted at the class website) • Textbooks: • Silberschatz, Galvin, Gagne, Operating System Concepts, 8th Edition

  8. Class Grading • Exams (55%) • Programming projects (30%) • Quizzes and homework assignments (15%)

  9. Exams • Exam 1 (15%) • Exam 2 (15%) • Comprehensive final exam (25%) • There will be questions closely related to the programming assignments in the exams.

  10. Programming Projects • Three or four projects, equally weighted • In teams of two people • Late project will be accepted for up to 2 days with 20% penalty per day. • All programs handed in will be checked by automatic plagiarism detection programs. • WRITE PERFECT PROGRAMS • First unknown bug of any kind: -15 points – points for the feature • First known bug/unimplemented feature: -10 points – points for the feature.

  11. 100 – 92 A 91.9 – 90 A- 89.9 – 88 B+ 87.9 – 82 B 81.9 – 80 B- 79.9 – 78 C+ 77.9 – 72 C 71.9 – 70 C- 69.9 – 68 D+ 67.9 – 62 D 61.9 – 60 D- 59.9 – 0 F If both exam grades and project grades are more than the thresholds (70% for both), the letter grade will be assigned as follows

  12. If your score < the threshold on one component • The threshold is 70% of the total possible score (38 for the exams and 21 for the projects) • Say… • 55% on exams • 150% on projects and assignments • The highest grade is C-

  13. Be aware: COP4610 is NOT a normal 3-credit hour course. • Recitation is an integrated part of the course. • Most theoretical components covered in lectures • Most practical components covered in recitations. • Course load would roughly equal to a 4- to 5-hour course. • OS involves many concepts. There is inter-dependence among some concepts. • To really understand OS (or the concepts in OS), you will need to read the book/lecture notes repeatedly.

  14. Computer Accounts • Computer science account • Various tools • SSH, E-mail, text editor, g++, make • ACNS account (@garnet.fsu.edu) • Receiving class emails • Please communicate with the instructor and the TA using a fsu account (cs or garnet). Emails from outside fsu accounts (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc) will be ignored.

  15. Your Responsibilities • Understand lecture and reading materials • Attend office hours for extra help, as needed • Uphold academic honesty • Turn in your assignments on time • Check class Web page and your email account and regularly

  16. Dos and Don’ts • Do share debugging experiences • Do share knowledge of tools • Do acknowledge help from others • Do acknowledge sources of information from books and web pages

  17. Dos and Don’ts • Don’t cheat • Don’t copy code from others • Don’t paraphrase code from others either • E.g., changing variable names & indentations • Don’t leak your code to any place • There is no difference in terms of penalty between copying and being copied. • All honor code violation will be reported to and resolved through the Office of the Dean and the Faculties. • Zero for the particular assignment/exam AND one letter grade deduction for the level 1 agreement (first violation).

  18. Course Policies • Attendance mandatory • There are no make-up exams for missed exams unless one (1) has a really good excuse AND (2) notice the instructor before the exam. • Honor code: read your student handbook • Students with disabilities • Report to Student Disability Resource Center • Bring me a letter within the first week of class
