Operating Systems PPT

Operating Systems PPT

Professor: Jerry Breecher, jb@cs.wpi.edu

Course Description

This course provides a graduate-level introduction to the theory and design of multi-programmed operating systems. Some of the topic areas covered include concurrent processes, process communication, input/output supervisors, memory management, resource allocation, and process scheduling. Selected topics in distributed operating systems will also be addressed.

Textbook

Any of these editions will work fine: Silberschatz, Abraham, Peter B. Glavin and Greg Gagne,
Operating System Concepts, Eighth Update Edition ISBN: 978-1-1181-1273-1
Operating System Concepts, Eighth Edition, John Wiley ISBN: 978-0-470-12872-5
Operating System Concepts, Eighth Edition, E-Book: Wiley Desktop Edition ISBN 978-0-470-47298-9
I expect that you can use the Seventh edition at a considerably lower price.

A book that contains a lot of great material (and which I will be referencing) is:
Doeppner, Thomas, Operating Systems in Depth John Wiley ISBN:978-0-471-68723-8


In the Table below are pointers to the notes for the course.  The formats available can be read by Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt) or downloaded to a postscript printer (.ps).  Lectures generally will be from these notes. Feel free to print them out and use them during class to avoid extensive scribbling.
