Advanced Operating Systems

Catalog description

Advanced Operating Systems (3-0) Examination of current research topics in operating systems such as kernel architectures and support for asynchronous I/O, multiple CPUs, memory management, filesystems, real-time processing, network protocols, and virtualization. Typical student projects include modifications or extensions to services provided by an existing operating system. Students are assumed to already understand classical operating systems theory at a level similar to that taught in CS 4375 including process scheduling, memory management, synchronization, and deadlock avoidance.
