TDIU11 Operating Systems

Literature

Links

• We use the classical "Operating Systems Concepts" Course book. You can also use a previous edition.
• Google scholar. Find research articles.
• Wikipedia. Not good as only source of information, but good for quick introduction, refresh memory, to get pointers elsewhere, or just as an added source of information.
• History of course book.
• Course book author.

ASPLOS '17: Proceedings of the Twenty-Second International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems April 2017 Pages 483-496. The article revolves around scheduling for GPU platforms. It involves notions that are central to the course (e.g., scheduling, turnaround/waiting time, preemption, priority inversion, etc) but casted in a GPU context.
