The course is a substitute for:
Operating Systems (36OSY)
Lecturer:
Jan Trdlička, Ivan Šimeček
Tutor:
Jan Trdlička, Ivan Šimeček
Supervisor:
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Synopsis:

The course is an introduction into the classical theory of operating systems (OS). Students learn about basic notions, such as processes and threads and their communication, scheduling algorithms, race conditions, critical sections and synchronization problems and mechanisms, process deadlock, virtual memory using paging or segmentation, management of I/O devices, file systems and finally the basic issues of security. Experience with programming in the C language is expected.

Requirements:

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