Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to describe the fundamental principles governing the development of modern operating systems built in the form of succesive layers. They can explain interactions between different components of an operating systems and can solve simple problems of synchronization. 

Thanks to the practical exercices, the  they will be able to develop scripts for automating processes and manipulation of files in UNIX.

Content of UE

Functions and features of an operating system;
kernel processes, semaphores, synchronization;
Memory management;
Inputs / Outputs;
File systems;
Scheduling;
Allocation and distribution of resources;
UNIX processes, file system and shell.

Prior Experience

Computer architecture, operating mode of a processor; interrupt mechanism; hard disk partitions, memory addressing
