Course description and aims

An operating system (OS) is one of the most basic software in a computer system.
To learn a computer science deeply, it is a good method to dive into OS and struggle with codes.
In this class, students learn components of a recent computer based on x86-64 and construct an OS for it by their hand.

Student learning outcomes

Students gain an understanding of components for a recent computer system.
They also gain an experience of adding and modifying features for a sample operating system.

Keywords

Operating system, x86-64

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Lecture and work.
Students will write codes for a sample OS provided in this course.
