Course Synopsis: Topic Resource

This course focuses on key operating system concepts like processes, scheduling, synchronization, multithreaded applications, deadlocks, memory management, and file systems. Students will learn about process and thread management, inter-process communication, input/output handling, scheduling algorithms, and critical section problems. The course uses UNIX and Windows NT as examples and includes laboratory assignments on related topics. By the end of the course, students should understand operating system workings, synchronization processes, multithreaded applications, deadlock causes, memory management, and different file systems.

Course Synopsis

This course focuses on the processes, synchronization, scheduling, multi-threaded applications, deadlocks, memory
management, and file systems. UNIX and Windows NT are general purpose operating systems used as examples when
studying these concepts. Laboratory assignments of process/thread synchronization, process communication, and file
systems are given.
