Course content

Overall structure and working principles of OSs and their individual parts are discussed. Particular ways of solving some task of OS and technologies used in modern OSs are shown on Microsoft Windows NT and GNU/Linux systems (as a unix-like OS). Besides operating systems parts also a brief introduction to the assembler programming language is included, in which the critical parts of OSs dependent on hardware are implemented. <ol> <li> Programming in the assembler language, machine instructions and their processing. </li> <li> Execution control, calling of subroutines, interrupts. </li> <li> Functions and importance of operating systems, types of operating systems, historical survey. </li> <li> Opearting system architecture. Hardware devices management, device drivers. </li> <li> Process and processor management, process and its life cycle, processor allocation, processes and threads. </li> <li> Process and thread synchronization. Critical section. Deadlock, conditions for it, detection, prevention and avoidance. </li> <li> Implementation of synchronization in operating system, atomic operations, synchronization primitives (semaphores, mutexes), active and passive waiting. </li> <li> Operating memory management. Virtual memory. </li> <li> Disk space and file managament (filesystems), disk arrays. </li> <li> Security in operating systems, classes of security. </li> </ol>
