Why Bother?  We’ll not teach you operating systems textbooks  We’ll learn to engineer real- world complex systems  OS is one such system  You’ll leave with an intuitive sense for engineering real systems  We’ll not teach you operating systems textbooks  We’ll learn to engineer real- world complex systems  OS is one such system  You’ll leave with an intuitive sense for engineering real systems

Modus Operandi  System design is as much an art as it is science  We are using an internal MIT textbook (6.033 classnotes) from Jerry Saltzer and Frans Kaashoek  We’ll refer to a traditional textbook every so often  System design is as much an art as it is science  We are using an internal MIT textbook (6.033 classnotes) from Jerry Saltzer and Frans Kaashoek  We’ll refer to a traditional textbook every so often

What we’ll learn 1 Operating System Concepts (What is an OS? Why is an OS Needed? Case study of the UNIX time-sharing OS.) 1Chapter 1 System Engineering (Indirection, Complexity, Modularity, I/O, Storage Structures, Storage Hierarchy, Protection Layers etc.) 2 Chapter 2 Operating System Structures (Clock Management (scheduling), Address-space-management (Memory), Abstraction (System Calls, Virtual Machines) etc.) Chapter 3

What we’ll learn

What is an OS?

What is an os  OS is needed to do three things:  abstraction  Security  multipelxing An OS securely abstracts and multiplexes hardware  OS is needed to do three things:  abstraction  Security  multipelxing An OS securely abstracts and multiplexes hardware

What is an OS  Abstraction, protection and multiplexing of:  Clock  RAM  Hard-disk  Network interface  Keyboard and display  peripherals  Abstraction, protection and multiplexing of:  Clock  RAM  Hard-disk  Network interface  Keyboard and display  peripherals
