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.
The thesis research orientation for the new junior (3rd-year) students are scheduled as follows:
Date and Time: April 13 (Monday), 1925 to 1940
Place: Lecture Hall 201 (M1 Classroom).
The slides describing research topics can be accessed from this link .
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.
Due to a business trip of the instructor, there will be no office hours on February 4.
This week, we will cover the rest of Chapter 5 with emphasis on Sections 5.3 (I/O SOFTWARE LAYERS), 5.4 (DISKS) and 5.8 (POWER MANAGEMENT). These sections are your reading assignments.
Since we will have the last class this week, you should be prepared to ask questions for any material covered in the class (for the preparation to the final exam).
Next week, the instructor will be on a business trip and therefore will not be available for the office hours (or any other in-person assistance). However, we plan to have an extra help session on the 2nd week of February for those in need of assistance toward the final exam.
Due to the review of the past exercise problems, we extend the deadline submission of today's exercise to 1620 today. This is a hard deadline and submission system automatically closes at this time.
