Course description and aims
This course examines the design and implementation of operating system kernels and surveys the background theories and algorithms
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to outline the structure of typical operating system kernels and explain important concepts such as interrupt-based kernel implementations, process management, synchronization, mutual exclusion, memory managements, file systems, I/O systems and so on. In addition, students will be able to explain the implementation of Unix-like operating systems through a series of programming exercises using xv6.
Keywords
operating system kernels, system calls, processes, scheduling, synchronization, mutual exclusion algorithms, memory management, virtual memory, file systems, protection mechanisms, security mechanisms
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
