Operating Systems with System Programming

The subject will establish definitions, principles, frameworks and architectures for modern operating systems.

The subject will focus on processes, thread systems, synchronization, CPU scheduling, memory management, file systems, input-output units, deadlock management, multi-processor systems and security.

Knowledge - the student understands:

• Which tasks an operating system solves.
• The characteristics of an operating system.
• The critical services provided by an operating system, such as process scheduling, processor management, device management and memory management.
• How new CPUs running Artificial Intelligence Algorithms are different from traditional CPUs.

Skills - the student can:

• Exploit the operating system effectively, as a system developer, administrator, and end user.
• Write programs using threads and synchronization.

General competence - the student shall know:

• The challenges and solutions for management of resources like processors and memory to effectively and efficiently execute application programs.
