Operating System Engineering: Course Description
Professor Frans Kaashoek taught 'Operating System Engineering' to master's and doctoral degree students in MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. This course introduces graduate students to operating system fundamentals, including context switches, virtual memory, system calls and interrupts. It also familiarizes students with key concepts like threads and interprocess communication. During the first part of the course, students explore the xv6 operating system (re-implementation of UNIX v6). This system supplies many of the basic components for modern versions of UNIX. 'Operating System Engineering' OpenCourseWare includes instructions for building an operating system from the ground up. Users need the ability to open .zip files in order to view some files.
This free course from MIT contains valuable lecture notes, a reading list, assignments, labs, exams, tools (development environment), related resources and quizzes.
