An operating system is a fundamental component of most modern computing environments. Operating systems have developed in parallel with computer hardware, advancing to ensure the hardware can be used as effectively as possible. This unit introduces the core components of operating systems, including: processes; memory management; file systems; and scheduling. This is extended through an examination of multiprocessor and distributed systems, and illustrated through real-world case studies. Related topics, including concurrency control and security, are also introduced.
