Course Objectives/

Expectations

• It has been expanded to include multi-core CPUs, clustered computers, and open-source operating systems.

• It provides significantly updated coverage of virtual machines, as well as multi-core CPUs, the GRUB boot loader, and operating-system debugging.

• It provides new coverage of pipes as a form of inter process communication.

• It adds new coverage of programming for multi-core systems.

• It adds a discussion of mutual exclusion locks, priority inversion, and transactional memory.

Prerequisites

• Strong programming skills (Knowledge of C).

• Elementary data structures and algorithms.

Mention the best practices identified as part of teaching this subject

1. Connecting programming and general system use with the Operating System concepts.

2. Making students involve in all the classroom activity.

3. Case study based study on Windows and Android OS.

Mention the Importance of this subject along with Real Time Applications

1. Operating System is an intermediate layer between applications and hardware. It is a key part of computer system. Understanding its operation will make students better programmers.

2. To write softwares that directly accesses operating system services rather than relying on application libraries or libraries for better performance of CPUs, memory, devices and network computing.

3. To Tradeoff between performance and functionality while coding.
