Csc308 — Operating System

Computer Science · 200 Level · Second Semester

About this course

Csc308 Operating System is a 200 Level course in the Computer Science department, taught in the Second Semester. On La-Net Hub you can watch all 46 recorded lectures for free, grouped into 11 series, read the course lecture note online or download it as a PDF, and test yourself with practice questions.

This course introduces the core concepts and functions of operating systems, including process and thread management, CPU scheduling, synchronization, and memory management. It also covers file systems, I/O operations, security, and distributed systems. Students gain practical experience using Linux/UNIX commands and system programming, with hands-on exercises in scheduling algorithms, memory allocation, and process synchronization.

This course examines how operating systems manage running programs through processes and threads. Students will study process concepts, thread models, CPU scheduling algorithms, synchronisation mechanisms, and deadlock handling. Emphasis is placed on understanding how the OS coordinates concurrent execution and ensures efficient, reliable resource allocation.
