Synopsis

This  unit  covers the design and implementation of computer operating
systems.   The   major  components  of  operating   systems:   process
management, memory management and file systems are covered in  detail.
This unit uses NACHOS, an instructional operating system developed  at
the  University of California at Berkeley, as the system for the  case
study  and laboratory work. Students will gain hands-on experience  of
designing  and  implementing  a  real operating  system  and  a  solid
understanding of how operating systems work.
