Operating systems - Spring 2005

General:

This course will have programming assignments in Linux and Windows. Obviously, you will need a computer account in Linux.
There will be five assignments this semester, all of them are obligatory.
Students wishing to appeal regarding their exercises grades should put the checked exercise together with an explanation in my box no. 311, or send me an email.

Every week I will send an email with a brief note about the com-ming TIRGUL. make sure you get these emails. They contain important information.
In the mail I send I usually give a link to notes summarizing the material and more.
I also send links to code examples. Make sure to print them before class! I will not hand printed code during class!.
Please read the code (and notes) I send you BEFORE class - This will improve your learning curves since it is very hard to understand a code example if you are looking at it for the first time.

Shared memory: shmtool.c

Semaphores: semtool.c semstat.c

Mutex (threads): mutex.c

Conditinal variables (threads): cond.c

Implementing semaphore from a muetx and a cond. var. (threads): semaphore1.c semaphore2.c

Socket (polling): client.c iterative-server.c process-server.c

Code for windows

Threads: threads.cc

Some papers:

creating (and proving corectneses of) a mutex (a bit old but still nice)

Exercises:

In programming assignements you need to hand the printouts of the code AND leave the code in your unix-home-directories.
The code should be kept in the directory ~/os/ex1/q2 where in this case ex1 stands for the first exercise and q2 stands for the second question.
Make sure you give read and execute permissions to everyone to the whole path. Use: chmod 755 ~ ~/os/ ~/os/ex1 etc.
Specify your username on the printuots you hand.
Submissions that are unreadable, late, missing printouts, missing code, or not specifying username on the printout will not be checked causing you point loss!

Exercise 1 Due: Mar 18th
Exercise 2 Due: Apr 1st
Exercise 3 and windows test prog and linux test prog Due: May 5th
Exercise 4 Due: May 22nd
Exercise 5 Due: Jun 3rd
