Operating Systems

The course is a substitute for:

Operating Systems (XE36OSY)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Synopsis:

Architecture of operating systems, types of OS. Process hierarchy, inheritance of attributes, inter-process communication. Race conditions, critical sections. Synchronisation primitives /simple, complex/. Memory allocation, paging, segmentation, combined methods. Processor allocation. File systems, I/O.

Requirements:

Credit will bi given only to students that have completed all lab exercises. Requirements for the exam are equal to the topics presented in the lectures.
