SCC 211: Operating Systems
This module introduces the theory and practical application of
operating system concepts, and to concurrent systems in general.
The course includes the following topics:
- Internal OS structure;
- File and I/O management; interrupt handling and device drivers;
- Memory management structures and techniques;
- Process management: scheduling and threads; support for multiprocessors.
- OS development: cross compilation; run-time support; and APIs
- Virtualisation.
-
Concurrency: mutual exclusion and condition synchronisation;
alternative primitives (including semaphores, spin-locks, monitors, and message passing).
The module takes a practical, hands on, approach to these topics.
