Study Notes
Operating Systems Overview
- By the end of this course, the student will be able to realize the efficiency or deficiency of different operating system techniques.
- The course covers various operating system topics, including computer-system organization, operating-system structure, and operating-system operations.
Operating System Components
- The course covers memory management, protection and security, and special-purpose systems.
- Open-source operating systems are also part of the course.
Evolution of Operating Systems
- Initially, entire computers were dedicated to one program at a time, which proved inefficient.
- Multitasking, which allowed multiple programs to run simultaneously, emerged in the 1990s, building upon lessons from early shared computers.
Explore the importance, function, and techniques used by operating systems as resource managers. Gain insight into the fundamentals of modern operating system functions, design, and implementation, covering topics such as concurrency, synchronization, processes, threads, and scheduling.
