Semester Details:

The structure and organization of computer operating systems. Process, memory, and I/O management; device drivers, inter-machine communication, introduction to multiprocessor systems. An important portion of the course is a course long programming project that implements a simple operating system in stages. Each stage takes about three weeks, and is used as a basis for the next stage. (The scope and pace of the project is somewhat less than the related project in CS580)

Grades will be based on the project and a final exam. Must be taken for a letter grade.
