Project Description for Operating System

Learn to implement key operating system features such as process scheduling, memory allocation strategies, file compression, and directory traversal. This lesson helps you understand how to design solutions for common OS challenges that frequently appear in coding 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 the management of processing, storage, and input/output resources. Another important part of the OS is the 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 the scheduling of processes as well as efficient ...
