Section Description
CS 3010 will provide a broad overview of operating systems, focused primarily on Linux. We will pursue an in-depth investigation of the following topics: the OS kernel and kernel mode; concurrency and threads; synchronization and deadlock;, scheduling algorithms; virtual-memory management; I/O devices; and file-system management. From this course, students will become proficient in developing system-level programs in C. The recommended text will be Operating System Concepts: Principles and Practice, 2nd Edition, by Anderson and Dahlin.
Section Expectation
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; several short Brightspace quizzes covering concepts from the lectures; and in-class practice worksheets.
Evaluation
Course grades will be based on the midterm and final exams; the programming projects; the Brightspace quizzes covering concepts from the lectures; and attendance.
