課程概述

Operating systems (OS) are the lowest-level software between computer architecture and the other software. It is only via operating systems, users and other programs can access the underlying hardware functions. The evolution of OS has brought about most of the software technology that we know of today. Thus, the knowledge we learned from an OS course is actually a snapshot of the whole computer technology and serves inspiration for solutions to all technical challenges that we may see in the careers of IT professionals. 

課程目標
(1) Learning the fundamentals of OS;
(2) Gaining a snapshot of advanced and developing technology in OS.
(3) Experimenting with OS via projects for rewriting and implementing parts of OS code.
