Final exam: April 30, 2:00 - 5:00 PM, D106. The exam is cumulative and will focus on general concepts underlying the readings: problems, solutions, limitations. It will be weighted toward background "quals material" rather than nit-picky details of the readings.

CPS 210 is the entry course in computer systems course for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Traditionally 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.
