Course Description
CS-837 is an introduction to operating system design principles. The topics we will
cover include processes, threads, inter-process communication, scheduling,
synchronization, filesystems, I/O management, virtualization, security, and distributed
processing. Students are expected to be familiar with C/C++ and must be amazingly
comfortable with its programming techniques. Operating systems are prevalent in many
areas of technology today. An operating system is a software layer that is closest to the
hardware and provides a standardized interface to the application-level software At the
end of this course, students should have a very thorough understanding of how
hardware and the operating system kernel can affect software design.
