Exploring Operating System Fundamentals , Virtual Memory and Input/Output Management.
Course Description
An operating system course typically covers fundamental concepts and advanced topics related to operating systems, which are essential software that manage computer hardware resources and provide services for computer programs. Operating system courses typically combine theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to give students a comprehensive understanding of how operating systems work, their design principles, and their role in modern computing environments. The course may also explore recent trends and emerging technologies in operating system design and implementation. A deep dive on Virtual memory concept, paging, segmentation is performed in this course so a complete knowledge regarding virtual memory can be gained. I/O hardware components, Device management, buffering, caching gives a basic idea on input and output management. Students may clearly understand how memory and device management is performed in real time operating systems. The page replacement algorithms helps students to understand how swapping mechanisms are done and how the operating system manages multi programming by swapping the pages among various process in the system. Similarly how cache memory is managed to provide frequently used pages to the processor. By having these basic knowledge students can code these operations for practice. More contents are planned to upload in future covering all topics in operating systems
Who this course is for:
- Engineering students who have the basic knowledge on computer architecture
- Students who are curious to learn about the hardware and system software interpretations
- Those who are interested to learn in depth about virtual memory
