The operating system course typically covers a range of topics essential for understanding how computer systems manage resources and interact with users and applications. It starts with foundational concepts like processes, threads, and synchronization mechanisms, then moves on to memory management, including virtual memory and paging. File systems and storage management are also explored, along with device management and I/O systems.Students often learn about different types of operating systems, such as real-time, distributed, and embedded systems. They may study the design principles behind popular operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as concepts like scheduling algorithms, security, and networking within the context of operating systems.
