Description
Course The objective of this course is to enable students to;
Objectives No. Course Objectives Relation
with PO
1. The course will start with a brief historical perspective of the evolution of PO1
operating systems over the last fifty years, and then cover the major
components of most operating systems.
2. This discussion will cover the tradeoffs that can be made between PO1
performance and functionality during the design and implementation of an
operating system.
3. Particular emphasis will be given to three major OS subsystems: process PO2
management (processes, threads, CPU scheduling, synchronization, and
deadlock), memory management (segmentation, paging, swapping), file
systems, and operating system support for distributed systems.
At the end of this course students will be able to;
No. Course Outcomes Relation
with PLO
1. This course will introduce operating system design and implementation. PLO1
2. This course will provide a well-known, convenient, and efficient interface PLO2
Course Learning between user programs and the bare hardware of the computer on which they
Outcomes (CLO) run
3. Students will be able to learn about responsible for allowing resources (e.g., PLO2
disks, networks, and processors) to be shared, providing common services
needed by many different programs (e.g., file service, the ability to start or stop
processes, and access to the printer), and protecting individual programs from
one another.
