CSD 415 Operating Systems Concepts5 credits
This course teaches the major functional components of a modern, general purpose operating system, including the process management, memory management, and I/O subsystems. Process management topics include process and thread creation and termination, process scheduling, inter-process communication, and signal handling. Memory management topics include virtual memory and paging. I/O topics include file systems, sockets, I/O scheduling, network protocols, and device drivers.
Prerequisites: CSD 322 and admission to the BAS IT:CSD program
