Aim:
The course presents fundamental concepts of operating systems.
The first part elaborates on concurrent processes and threads, with communication, synchronisation and scheduling, and shows how these are supported in current operating systems. The second part of the course presents the construction and functionality of modern operating systems.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Programming courses both at a basic and advanced level.
Data structures and algorithms, Computer hardware, Programming in C.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Supplementary courses:
Programming parallel computers - methods and tools, Multicore and GPU Programming, Real-time systems, Distributed systems, Computer networks, Computer architecture.
|
|
Organisation:
A series of lectures presents the theory. Laboratory assignments complement the theory. Lessons prepare for the lab sessions.
|
|
Course contents:
Concurrent programming: processes, threads, semaphores, monitors, message passing, deadlock. Operating systems: implementation of processes, file systems, process scheduling, memory management, secondary storage, input/output, security.
Examples are taken from contemporary operating systems such as Unix, Solaris, Linux, Mac-OS and Windows.
