CS 450 provides an introduction to operating system concepts through a combination of lectures and hands-on projects. Class presentations deal with basic resource management with examples from numerous real systems. A major component of the course is the MPX project. In this project students work in small groups to implement the essential elements of a multitasking operating system in a small computer environment.
This course is optionally required for Computer Science undergraduates and is required for Computer Engineering undergraduates. The prerequisite is now CS 350 only. Prerequisites will be enforced. CS 450 is offered every semester.
Spring 2009. MWF 3:00 - 3:50 PM, G83 ESB, CRN 11097. Instructor: Jim Mooney.
