OPERATING SYSTEMS
OBJECTIVE:
To introduce basic concepts and features of OS with case study on different operating systems.
Operating System concept- OS Structure –Services-System calls – Process management-Process Concept-Operations on process-Cooperating processes- Inter-process communication-Process scheduling-Scheduling algorithms-Threads- Multithreading models.
Process synchronization- critical-section problem – Synchronization hardware – Semaphores – Classic problems of synchronization – critical regions – Monitors Deadlock-Deadlock characterization – Methods for handling deadlocks – Recovery from deadlock
Memory management-Buddysystem-Paging-segmentation-Virtual Memory –Demand paging-Page replacement algorithms – Allocation of frames – Thrashing-Working set model
Files and Directories - Files System structure- Implementation –File allocation methods-Free space management. I/O systems – I/O interface –Kernel I/O subsystem. Disk scheduling algorithms- Disk management-Swap space management
Protection andsecurity -Case Study-Linux, Windows, Mac OS and Mobile OS
