Course description and aims

Operating systems (OS) is software that abstract computer hardware and manages computer resources. In this lecture, we explain the basic concepts and functions of OSes. Also, deepen understanding through exercises.

Student learning outcomes

A student understands and master te following basic concepts and functions. In particular, he/she can make efficient use of hardware by understaindng how OSes connect application software and hardware.
- OS startup
- Input / output
- Filesystem
- Process management: loading and executing programs
- Process management: concurrent processing, scheduling
- concurrency control (synchronization)
- memory management
- virtualization
- networking
- security

Keywords

Operating system, hardware abstraction, resource management
