Trefnydd: Dr Saad Mansoor

This module is concerned with the principles and concepts of contemporary operating systems with an emphasis on the programmer or user view of the OS. We will discuss concepts relating to processes, threads, synchronization, advanced and asynchronous control, interprocess communication, memory management, I/O, file systems, network communication, and system design principles.

• ACM Curricula2001 – OS (eg File systems; naming services; memory management; scheduling; device management)

• ACM Curricula2001 – PF (concurrent programming; threads; processes; scheduling; pre-emption)

• ACM Curricula2001 – NC (IPC; Thread)

• ACM Curricula2001 – IM,AL (Distributed Algorithms; 2PL; OCC; TSO; Crashes and Recovery)
