We will pursue an in-depth investigation of the following topics: the OS kernel and kernel mode; concurrency and threads; synchronization, CPU scheduling, memory management, I/O devices, and file-system management. From this course, students will become proficient in developing system-level programs in C, on Linux. The text will be Operating System Concepts: Principles and Practice, 2nd Edition, by Anderson and Dahlin.

Students will learn concepts by creating several C programs on Linux that apply the various concepts from class. There will be a midterm exam and a final exam and several short take-home quizzes covering concepts from the lectures.
