Operating System

his course provides an in-depth understanding of the principles, design, and implementation of modern operating systems. It focuses on how operating systems manage hardware resources, provide services to application software, and ensure system efficiency and reliability. Students will explore both theoretical concepts and  implementation techniques used in real-world operating systems. The course covers essential topics including process and thread management, CPU scheduling, synchronization and concurrency, deadlocks, memory management, file systems, input/output (I/O) systems, virtualization, and security. Advanced topics such as distributed systems, real-time operating systems, and mobile OS concepts may also be introduced.

Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience through labs and projects, where they will simulate or build components of an operating system, reinforcing their understanding of complex system interactions.

Key Topics Covered:

• Introduction to Operating Systems

• Process Concepts, Threads, and Multithreading Models

• CPU Scheduling Algorithms

• Synchronization and Concurrency (Semaphores, Mutexes)

• Deadlock Detection, Prevention, and Avoidance

• Memory Management (Paging, Segmentation, Virtual Memory)

Learning Outcomes:

• By the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Understand the design and functioning of key OS components.

• Develop solutions for process synchronization and deadlock problems.

• Analyze and compare memory management and CPU scheduling strategies.

• Implement and simulate parts of an operating system
