This course introduces the theory and concepts of operating systems to CST Diploma students who already understand both C Programming and Computer Architecture. COMP 4731 begins with an examination of operating systems structure and services. Lectures, exercises and homework focus on how these services are used and implemented for processor management. Topics include: processes and threads, kernel architecture, inter-process communication, synchronization and mutual exclusion, deadlock and starvation, memory organization and management, virtual memory, processor scheduling, input/output management, disk scheduling, and file management. Labs and assignments use examples to illustrate operating systems concepts used in UNIX,/Linux and Windows. COMP 4731 is required for CST/PTS Diploma completion and is equivalent to COMP 4735 in the full-time CST Diploma. Upon successful completion students will have an understanding of how operating systems work and how to write concurrent code for software applications.
