  Welcome to
  Operating System and System Programming course

  

  Course Summary:

  This course introduces about the modern operating systems. It focuses on UNIX-based operating systems, though alternative operating systems, including Windows are introduced. This course is begin with an overview of the structure of modern operating systems. Over the course of the subsequent units, discuss the history of modern computers, analyze in detail each of the major components of an operating system (from processes to threads), and explore more advanced topics in the field, including concurrency (synchronization, mutual exclusion, deadlock, starvation), memory (both primary and secondary) management and  input/output file organization.
