The operating system (OS) is a system software that helps users utilize software and hardware resources (including network) on computers. This course, Advanced OS, is to help you understand more in the design principles and realization practice of fundamental OS components or advanced OS features in Linux, real-time OS, embedded OS, distributed OS, or Blockchain (as a distributed real-time OS supporting trust). Please refer to the syllabus.

For those who would like to waive course requirement for PhD qualification or else, please let me know in the first lecture. This course cannot be used to waive for undergraduate courses.

This course is open and Benevolence Licensed. Open for auditing; please help yourself. Do not send me an email for permission to audit, add, or withdraw (in person). Do it in class.

Lecture Notes

We use HackMD to record weekly lecture notes.

Homework

The following homework is for you to work at home. No need to turn in.

Kernel Compiling
RM/EDF Schedule Simulation, on-line judge, do not trust judge 100%.
What is wrong in the barrier implementation? Solution?
Open source project survey for your projects.
- e.g. Use HackMD to collaborate on open source projects.

Grouping

1-4 members per group, unless with a special reason approved.
