The Bureaucracy
 Instructor: Umar Saif
 TAs:
 TBA
 19, 100 minute lectures
 Assignments vs. project poll?
Why Bother?
 We’ll not teach you operating
systems textbooks
 We’ll learn to engineer realworld complex systems
 OS is one such system
 You’ll leave with an intuitive
sense for engineering real
systems
Modus Operandi
 System design is as much an art
as it is science
 We are using an internal MIT
textbook (6.033 classnotes)
from Jerry Saltzer and Frans
Kaashoek
 We’ll refer to a traditional
textbook every so often
Text Books
 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne, ‘Applied
Operating System Concepts’, 1st Edition, 2000,
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ISBN 0-471-36508-4.
 Principles of Computer System Design, MIT 6.033
Class Notes, Draft Release 4 by Jerome H.
Saltzer and M. Frans Kaashoek, Department of
EECS, MIT
 Some handouts will be given to supplement the
text.

Grading
 Announced quizzes
 So that you prepare for them
 Programming assignments carry the
same weight as the finals
 Engineers learn by kicking the sandbag
 I am very lenient grader
 Try and enjoy the course, don’t worry
about grades

What is an OS?
What is an os
 OS is needed to do three things:
 abstraction
 Security
 multipelxing
An OS securely abstracts and
multiplexes hardware
What is an OS
 Abstraction, protection and
multiplexing of:






Clock
RAM
Hard-disk
Network interface
Keyboard and display
peripherals
