Operating systems

Operating systems are the lowest software layer between hardware and all applications. They are therefore the ideal place to study fundamental concepts such as asynchronous execution or virtual memory management, with the problems they pose and the new doors they open. The course focuses on the important points involved in designing such systems, illustrating them wherever possible with excerpts from UNIX kernel source code.
