CPS 210 is an introductory graduate course in operating systems. The course emphasizes classical operating systems topics: concurrency, facilities for storage, communication, and protection, kernel services and structure, architecture/OS interaction, distributed systems, and practical application of operating system concepts in real operating systems. We also explore the nature of "systems" as an evolving research discipline encompassing all aspects of bridging the gap between applications and hardware. To this end we will study selected research papers, focusing on research goals and methodologies.
