This is the home page for the Operating Systems course which is run by The School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham. The course is a mandatory course for the final year (3rd year) of our Computer Science degree (UCAS Code G400). It is an optional course for a variety of other degree courses.

Course Outline

Operating systems provide a software interface to make the hardware of a computer more readily usable, and to provide cost-effective use of that hardware. This module covers how key aspects of an operating systems can be implemented, including: process scheduling, memory management, file systems, input/output. In addition, the history of operating systems will be discussed and how they have developed in line with advances in hardware.
