Project Description for Operating System
Explore key operating system concepts including process scheduling, memory allocation, and file management. Learn how to approach complex OS-related problems and develop solutions that apply to coding interviews. Understand multiple modules like process management, file compression, and directory systems, gaining practical skills that enhance your interview readiness.
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 ...
