Semester 7 / 8
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
1) Compare and contrast the Monolithic and Microkernel design architectures.
2) Use system calls.
3) Develop multiprocess/multithreaded applications.
4) Implement mutual exclusion and synchronization in multiprocessing environments.
5) Explain multiprocessor and real-time scheduling.
6) Explain the virtual memory management techniques used on modern operating systems.
7) Explain device Management and Interrupt Handling mechanisms and write module
as extensions to the kernel code.
8) Explain the virtual file system concept and system calls for accessing files.
9) Explain the concept of virtualization in OS.
The course uses the theoretical knowledge learned in the prerequisite course
CSNB224/CCSB234 Operating System Concepts. The practical part of the course takes students on the programming task of writing codes to adapt, modify or add modules to the existing kernels of the operating systems. Hands-on knowledge gained in system programming will be valuable to further enhance general programming ability of students.
