Project Description for Operating System
Explore the fundamental operating system features such as process scheduling, contiguous memory allocation, file compression, and process synchronization. Learn how to approach and design solutions for complex OS modules that relate to real-world coding interview problems. This lesson helps you better understand OS internals and prepares you to solve similar technical questions in interviews.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
A modern Operating System (OS) is a complex piece of software. It must manage finite, yet complex hardware resources while efficiently providing services to user software. In terms of hardware management, the OS must handle management of processing, storage and input/output resources. Another important part of the OS is user shell, which handles user interactions.
The scenario and problems we will discuss in this chapter relate to the memory and process manager modules of operating system software.
Statement
Suppose you are a developer on a famous OS engineering team. Your team is working on several features related to scheduling of processes as well as efficient allocation ...
