Operating Systems | Computer Science | Cornell University

Explore the fundamentals of operating systems, including structure, concurrency, scheduling, and more. Designed for undergraduates with a strong computer science background.

Introduction

CS 4410 covers systems programming and introductory operating system design and implementation. We will cover the basics of operating systems, namely structure, concurrency, scheduling, synchronization, memory management, filesystems, security and networking. The course is open to any undergraduate who has mastered the material in CS3410/ECE3140.

Highlights

• Covers fundamental topics in operating systems, including structure, concurrency, scheduling, synchronization, memory management, filesystems, security and networking
• Designed for undergraduates who have completed the prerequisite courses in computer science and computer engineering
• Includes hands-on programming assignments and practice prelims to reinforce the concepts

Recommendation

This course is recommended for undergraduates who are interested in understanding the inner workings of computer systems and operating systems. It provides a solid foundation in operating system design and implementation, and is a valuable prerequisite for more advanced courses in computer systems and software engineering.
