Operating Systems

The course is a substitute for:

Operating Systems (D36OSY)

Lecturer:

Jan Trdlička, Neurčen (gar.), Ivan Šimeček

Tutor:

Jan Trdlička, Neurčen (gar.), Ivan Šimeček

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Synopsis:

The lecture is designed to give students an overview of design principles and implementation techniques of operating systems. The lecture covers history and architecture of operating systems, methods of management of processes, memory, file systems and drivers for peripheral devices. Case studies for UNIX, VMS and WINDOWS-NT are given.

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.
