COMP 350 - Systems and Multi-Programming

The central concept explored in this course is the process, an instance of a program in execution. The course examines the ways the operating system facilitates the management of processes and the services it provides to processes. Students will also learn how to write programs that create new processes, and programs that create multiple threads of execution within a single process to take advantage of modern multi-core processors.
