If you are registered with the operating systems course, you must have received email from the instructor with the subject "OS_ID" and a number in the message body. The number is used as your ID when the course assistant posts the grading results on his page .

If you are registered with the course, but did not receive the email, please first check the SPAM folder of your email account. If you can't even find it there, please consult with the instructor tomorrow.

OS Next Week (and lecture slides)

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).

OS Exercise 1 Posted

The problems for today's exercise have been posted at the Exercise page .

OS: Course Overview Slides

Course Overview Slides are available at the course web page. (There may be small revisions if any typos are found).

OS Textbook

As most (if not all) students received email from the instructor, we will use Modern Operating Systems: Global Edition (4/e) for the textbook of the Operating Systems class. The price at the university bookstore is 7305 (+tax) Yen. Please contact the bookstore and reserve your own copy, because

• the bookstore pre-orders only limited number of copies. If you miss one, you may have to wait for several weeks until the 2nd batch of the orders arrives (or you may have to buy at a higher price somewhere),
• you need your own copy of the textbook on the first day of the class

The ppt files of the "lecture slides" are available at at this URL . Please note that

• these files are merely figures of the textbook. you have to take notes during the lectures and also add notes based on what you read by the textbook
• access is limited from u-aizu.ac.jp domain (contact the instructor if you have any problem).

The web page for Operating Systems 2015

Web page for this year's Operating Systems course has been created. The content may still be incomplete and/or inconsistent.

As mentioned before, the 4th edition of the Modern Operating Systems was published and now it seems that the Global Edition is also available. The problem is whether it is available for us (at a similar group discount price as 3rd Ed.). Any update will be posted on this page.
