On-Line Course: CSEP 551, Autumn 2014

This course is intended to give students a thorough understanding of design and implementation issues for modern operating systems.

We will cover key design issues in implementing an operating system, such as memory management, inter-core synchronization, scheduling, protection, inter-process communication, device drivers, and file systems, paying particular attention to system designs that differ from the traditional monolithic arrangements of Unix/Linux and Windows.
