CSE301-00: Operating Systems

Week 1 lecture materials have been updated.  New!

This course explores the fundamental principles of modern operating systems, focusing on Unix-like systems and their impact on computing platforms and industry power.

Learn the underlying principles in the design and implementation of modern operating systems

• Kernel structure

• Process management

• Memory management

• File and storage management

Focusing on Unix-like operating systems (e.g., Linux)

• Most Oses are influenced by Unix (including Android, Mac OS X, QNX, etc.)

• Windows is an exception, but we ignore it in this course

Why Operating Systems Matter: Operating systems are not just technical software layers. They define platform and industry power.

• The smartphone market is dominated by Android (Google) and iOS (Apple), because controlling the OS means controlling the platform, ecosystem, APIs and revenue model
