Textbook • Operating Systems: Internal and Design Principles, 7th Edition by William Stallings, Prentice Hall, 2010
Course Theme and Goals • An operating system (OS) is • a software system that provides its users with a convenient interface • masking hardware details from users and programmers, e.g., with the OS, one needs not to develop application programs in machine instructions • Goal: • Get familiar with operating system internals • Study the design and implementation of OS kernels
Topics Covered • History and overview of operating systems • Process management • Memory management • System calls • Handling of interrupts and exceptions • Low level hardware/software interface • Race condition and critical sections • Deadlock • I/O hardware and software (if time permitted)
Prerequisites: • CSCE 230 (or CSCE 230H) and CSCE 230L (Computer Organization) • CSCE 310 (Data Structure and Algorithms)
Grading • Class Participation 5% • Assignment 60% • Homework 20% • Projects 40% (Final project due during the 15th week.) • Midterm 20% • Final 15% (plan to be Monday before Thanksgiving, not comprehensive)

Projects a team of size two/three.
