Operating Systems.

Catalog description

This course covers the principles and concepts that govern the design of modern computer operating systems. This course covers managing computing resources such as the memory, the processor, and the Input/Output devices. The course also covers algorithms for CPU scheduling, memory and general resource allocation, process coordination and management, and case studies of several operating systems. Operating systems also manage the authentication, accounting, and authorization aspects in a multi-user system. Students will explore issues and limitations imposed on a computing environment by the choice of different operating systems. Prerequisite: CS 332 .
