Catalog Description In-depth study of operating systems concepts including results from recent research. Topics may include processes, threads, virtual memory, file systems, distributed computing, scheduling, protection, and communication protocols. Students may be required to implement operating system projects. Current Instructor Professor Ralph Hilzer Current Course Webpage http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~hilzer/csci372/csci372.html Typical Text UNIX Systems Programming, Steven and Kay Robbins, Prentice Hall Course Coverage Students will - Create and coordinate concurrent processes using fork and exec system calls. Use signals to selectively invoke interrupt handling routines Use file descriptors and file pointers to selectively direct program output. Invoke job control in a UNIX shell. Use POSIX and System V Semaphores to synchronize processes and threads. Create threads and change thread attributes. Use mutex and condition variables to synchronize threads. Create client-server network applications using sockets, TLI, and STREAMS. Investigate batch and interactive performance using queuing theory.
