Operating Systems

The course introduces the fundamental concepts of operating systems, defining their role within the architecture of a computer system, their main functionalities, and well-known structures (e.g., monolithic, micro-kernel). Various topics will be covered, such as process management, memory management, and file systems, with lectures aimed at understanding the general operation of a modern operating system.

By the end of the course, students will have acquired a deeper understanding of the internal workings of modern operating systems and their fundamental mechanisms. This knowledge will provide students with various skills. First, students will use operating systems more consciously and efficiently. Additionally, they will also be able to better interpret the behavior of an operating system in order to make more informed decisions in the practical use of computer systems.
