CS 4411/5411: Practicum in Operating Systems

This is the project course for CS 4410/5410. Students will learn about operating systems concepts through several coding assignments. Concepts covered include threading, synchronization, filesystems, caching and testing. The projects will provide a hands-on experience with implementing operating system functionality, as well as low level programming with C.
