Computer Systems DV1, Fall 2004 (10p)

The course consists of two parts: an introduction to operating systems (5 points) and a project (5 points). Part 1 covers: algorithms for scheduling of the CPU, methods for synchronization of concurrently executing processes and for interprocess communication, techniques for memory management, and methods for protection. The UNIX operating system is used as a case study. The objective for Part 2 of the course is to implement a small operating system.
