• Insights into the implementation of operating system concepts
• Practical skills in the implementation of OS components
• Understanding issues and problems when working below the level of abstraction provided by high level programming languages

Implementation of selected operating system components

• Memory management (virtual memory)
• Process management (scheduling, synchronization)
• File systems (block management)
• Implementation of system call interfaces

Didactic concept: By implementing components of an operational operating system students deepen their knowledge about the operation and implementation of operating systems. Lab assignments will be introduced in presentations.

Important: The introduction to Pintos will immediately follow the course intro!
