The problems for tomorrow's exercise class have been posted on the Moodle system.
We will work on the similar schedule as previous weeks:
Exercise problems in the lab for the 1st and 2nd periods, finish the exercise class 30minutes earlier and take the lunch break.
We resume the class from 12:40 in the Lecture Hall classroom by reviewing the Exercise 10 problems, followed by the lecture for Chapter 5.
Please come to the lab at 9 tomorrow.
Today's exercise problems have been posted on the Moodle. Please note that we finish the exercise part of the class earlier (@1130) today.
Tomorrow, the instructor will ask your course schedule so that we can choose mutually convenient date/time for the make-up classes (for 10/26).
For the exercise submissions last week, some students did not
Next week, we will begin the class with the lecture (in LH204) covering Sections 5.4 (Disks) and 5.8 (Power Management). These two sections are your reading assignments.
During the 2nd and 3rd periods, we will work on the exercise problems that cover the sections we learned in Chapter 5 (i.e. Sections 5.1 to 5.4 and 5.8).
An extra class for reviewing the exercise problems of the next week and also for the help session is planned in the 1st week of February. On 1/27, the instructor will ask students for the mutually convenient schedule of this class.
This week, we will work in the same format as previous weeks; exercise problems based on the lecture of the last week (Sections 4.4 to the end of Chaper 4) for the first two periods (including the review in the classroom), and then lecture during the 3rd period.
We will start the last chapter of this course, Chapter 5 "Input/Output"; in particular, we will (try to) cover the Sections 5.1 to 5.3. These sections are your reading assignment.
This week, like previous weeks, we will work on the exercise problems (for Sections up to 4.4) from 9 to 11 in the lab. From 11:30, we will review the problems in the classroom (LH204).
The lecture during the 3rd period should cover the rest of Chapter 4.
Please:
This week, we will first work on the exercise problems in Section 3.7 (Segmentation) and Sections 4.1 (Files) and 4.2 (Directories) in the lab. As we did in the last class, the submission deadline is at 1100 and we will review the problems in the classroom from around 1130. Please note that we may use a different submission command. The instruction will be provided in the problem sheet.
In the 3rd period, we will have a lecture in the classroom that will cover Section 4.3 (File System Implementation) and proceed to Section 4.4 (File System Management and Optimization) as far as possible. These sections are your reading assignment.
The schedule of this week's Operating Systems is similar to the last week:
The problem of today's exercise has been posted at the Exercise page. The submission deadline is at 1100 and the schedule of today's class is as follows:
This week, we will work on the exercise problems in Section 3.3 Virtual Memory during the first two periods. The lecture in the third period will cover (and hopefully finish) the rest of Chapter 3 (Section 3.4 Page Replacement Algorithms to the end).
In most classes, the exercise problems complete within the class and you have no homework. You are supposed to spend some time to prepare for the classes next week by reading the appropriate part of the textbook or reviewing the note you took in the class.
As it was announced last week, we will work on the exercise problem related to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 during first two period. Please come to the lab (std2, or Research Quadrangles 146) in the morning on Wednesday.
During the lecture in the 3rd period, we will cover Section 3.3 Virtual Memory (and possibly proceed to 3.4 Page Replacement Algorithms if time allows).
It is you who can make the class meaningful: if you read these sections and prepare for asking questions, you can gain much more than those who are not prepared for the class.
This week, we proceed to CHAPTER 3 "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" of the textbook. It is expected to cover the first two sections (3.1 " NO MEMORY ABSTRACTION" and 3.2 "A MEMORY ABSTRACTION: ADDRESS SPACES") during the lecturing in the 1st period. However, it is also possible to proceed to Section 3.3 (VIRTUAL MEMORY) if the time allows. Read these sections, find what the instructor will talk about and look at the keywords (the words in bold letters) -- do 'google' on these keywords.
As it has been told you from the first day of the class, just sitting in the classroom, without textbook and/or taking notes, won't get you anything...
As we have discussed yesterday, we will have make-up classes tomorrow as follows:
We also have discussed on the schedule for next week as follows:
Tomorrow, we will work on the exercise problem in Section 2.3 (Interprocess Communication) at std2 (Research Quadrangles 146) for the first two period. In the afternoon (3rd period), we will study Section 2.4 (Scheduling) at M4 (Lecture Hall 204) .
This evening, you must have received email and we plan to have make-up classes on Friday this week. If this plan conflicts with the course schedule of large fraction of students, we may re-schedule the make-up classes. If it is the case for you, please reply to the email immediately.
Due to the sickness of the instructor, the operating systems classes for tomorrow have been cancelled. The make-up classes (for both last week and this week) will be arranged and will be announced soon. It will be scheduled by taking the class schedule of the registered students of the OS class; however, at this moment, Friday (next week or later) afternoon is a possibility.
Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.
As it was announced in the class, due to a business trip of the instructor, the classes of the Operating Systems for the next week have been canceled. The details of the make up classes will be announced later. Also, the office hours on 10/27 (Tue) from 1400 to 1600 have been canceled.
The following are the tentative schedule for the next three weeks:
11/4: Exercise for Sec 2.3 (x2) and Lecture for Sec 2.4 (Scheduling)
11/11: Exercise for Sec 2.4 (x2) and Lecture for Ch 6 (Deadline)
11/18: Exercise for Ch 6, Midterm Exam and Lecture for Section 3.1 (+ 3.2, if possible).
"Tentative" means it is not finalized and may change later, but should be fixed by the class of 11/4.
If you have any question or request for an appointment, please contact the instructor by email.
Next week, we will start the class with working on the exercise problem in the lab (RQ146, or std2). The problem will correspond to what we learned in the last lecture (Section 2.2: Threads) and more specifically programming using pthrea libraries.
The lecture in the 3rd period (at LH204, or M4) will cover Section 2.3 Interprocess communication, and this is your reading assignment toward the next Wednesday.
Since we have finished the lecture for Section 2.1 (Processes and Threads) today, we will work on the exercise problem during the first 2 periods of the next week. Please come to the lab (RQ146o or std2) in the morning. If any of your friends missed today's class, please let them of this schedule
There were mistakes in the lectures slide URLs and now they are fixed. Please access from this URL (u-aizu.ac.jp internal access only).
As we have discussed so far, we will have an extra help session for the students taking the Operating Systems course.
We will review the recent exercise problems and give information of your partial grade so far.
