(5) SCSR2043 OPERATING SYSTEMS
This course covers the introduction to operating systems, which serve as an interface between computer hardware and the user. The operating system is responsible for the management and coordination of processes, sharing of limited resources of the computer. Students will be exposed to the techniques and algorithms that may be applied in designing an operating system. Topics covered include process management, concurrency and synchronization, deadlock, memory management, file management, secondary storage management, and I/O management. At the end of the course, the student shall have a clear understanding of the general concepts that underlie an operating system.
