CSD 415 Operating Systems Concepts5 credits This course teaches the major functional components of a modern, general purpose operating system, including the process management subsystem, the memory management subsystem, and the I/O subsystem. 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 will include file systems, sockets, I/O scheduling, network protocols, and device drivers. Students will gain facility and insight into these topics through hands-on activities including programming assignments, source code walk-through exercises, and selected reading from the Internet and the course text.
