Operating Systems

CMPSCI 4760

This is a course about operating systems and system programming. You will learn the algorithms to manage the internals of operating systems, specifically interprocess communications, process scheduling, resource management, memory management, file systems, and I/O scheduling. The course will help you with the ability to explain the internals of operating systems and improve your programming skills through large projects. I use the lessons learned in operating systems in my research and consulting work to optimize the code that I write. I’ll like for you to improve your understanding of programming in C for tasks involving interactions with the system. We’ll do all programming in Linux using the Gnu C compiler on opsys.

This is one of the most difficult courses you will encounter in the curriculum. However, I emphasize that I’ll like
you to succeed and am here to help you in any possible way, short of doing your projects.
