Course Description

This course introduces the fundamentals of the modern operating systems design and implementation. It covers the different techniques used by the operating system to achieve its goals as resource manager. The topics provide the student with the basic concepts, structures, and algorithms that work as intermediary software between the user and the hardware. The course also discusses how applications interact with the operating system and how the operating systems interact with the machine. Some of the existing operating systems will be highlighted as examples to explain how the topics taught in the course are applied in these systems.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

After successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Explain how to use the Linux operating system commands.

2. Identify the processes and threads of a process 3. Compare various processor scheduling algorithms

4. Compare various process/thread synchronization methods.

5. Evaluate structure/organization of modern file systems

6. Evaluate modern memory management techniques used in Operating Systems Grading
