Operating Systems

Content

Objective

This class aims at deepening the notions described during the operating systems introductory class from second year, and the computer hardware class from third year. More precisely, it includes the concepts of process, memory management, input-output management, file system and process communication/synchronization. Laboratory sessions rely on the POSIX version of the C language in order to apply the abstract notions studied during class.
