Course Description

OS system is a core curriculum courses.Students are also required this computer course for a professional basis. OS has theoretical relatively strong, and the contents include a variety of operating systems integrated structure, design, methods, technology and theory. The course specifies main operating system on the basic concepts, basic principles and technology, including processors management process concurrency management, Memory management, equipment management and document management. After completing the curriculum, students can learn better to grasp the theory of computer systems, interactive of users and computer system, design and development the application of the basic knowledge structure, so it can make a good foundation for future research and the application.

Prerequisite

  • Computer component principle: To help students grasp the whole computer system concept, to lay a solid foundation for learning related professional courses.

  • Data structures: Strengthen basic data structures and object-oriented programming skills. And lay a solid foundation for subsequent computer science courses.

  • C Programming: Basic programming skills training.

Course Objectives

Students should understand the status and characteristics of operating system in the computer system through this course. They should

  • Master how operating system schedules and complete the computer hardware and software resource management to grasp the basic concepts, basic structure and operating environment of OS,and to

  • Go deep into the operating system internals, understand and master the basic principles, designing methods as well as implementation techniques of OS.

Course Syllabus

  • The operating system development history.

  • The concept of process and thread.

  • The process of mutual exclusion and synchronization.

  • Process Communication.

  • The operating system settlement process deadlock method.

  • Memory Management.

  • Implementation of virtual memory.

  • File System Management and Implementation.

  • The device management and I / O technology.

  • The document in the external memory storage method.

  • Secure Operating System.

  • Distributed and Network Operating System.
