Course Contents: We'll delve into a variety of topics that form the bedrock of operating system theory and practice:

• Operating Systems Basics: Learn about different types, layers, views, and the services they provide to users and applications.

• Kernel Insights: Explore kernel architectures, from monolithic to micro and macro kernels, and understand the responsibilities of the kernel in system operations.

• Process Management: Understand the concept of a process image, the role of the process control block (PCB), how applications transition into processes, and the process state models – both five and seven-state variants. We'll also cover interprocess communication mechanisms such as shared memory and resource sharing.

• Critical Section Problem: Grasp the challenges in synchronization with a focus on solutions like mutexes and semaphores.

• Classical Synchronization Problems: Tackle real-world scenarios through practical examples like the readers-writers problem and the dining philosopher's problem.

• Scheduling Algorithms: From FCFS to SJF, RR, and beyond, we'll explore the principles and implementations of various scheduling algorithms to optimize CPU usage.

• Thread Management: Discover how threads work, their types, and how they are executed within an operating system.

• Deadlock and Resource Allocation: Learn about deadlock scenarios and how solutions like the bankers' algorithm can resolve these complex issues.

• Memory Management: Understand memory types, overlays, logical to physical address translation, and paging techniques to manage memory effectively.

Hands-On Learning: Each of these topics will be accompanied by practical examples illustrating how the concepts are applied in real life. This hands-on approach ensures that you not only understand the theory but can also apply it to solve problems and work with operating systems.
