CSE316

The document outlines the course outcomes and units of the CSE316: Operating Systems course. The course aims to help students understand system software components, use system calls to manage processes, memory and files, analyze algorithms like process scheduling and memory management, apply security measures, synchronize process execution to avoid deadlock, and simulate inter-process communication techniques. The 6 units cover topics like process and memory management, CPU scheduling, process synchronization, threads, deadlock, protection and security, file and device management, and inter-process communication.

CSE316:OPERATING SYSTEMS

L:3 T:0 P:0 Credits:3

Course Outcomes: Through this course students should be able to

CO1 :: understand the role, functionality and layering of the system software components

CO2 :: use system calls for managing processes, memory and the file system

CO3 :: Analyze important algorithms eg. process scheduling and memory management
algorithms
CO4 :: use and outline the various security measures that ensure threat free operation of a
system
