Aim of LaboratoryTo help students to understand important concepts and algorithms in operating

systems. Major components discussed are process management, virtual memory, I/O and file systems. By the end of this course students will have a thorough understanding of the issues that affect the behavior and performance of computer operating systems.

Objectives of Laboratory : In this lab student concentrate on Window operating system ,Linux operating

system .Lab intended to introduce practical study of operating system .In this lab student must know the fundamental that are applicable window operating system and Linux operating system .Lab experiment also focused on Linux command and also practice shell programming.

Learning OutcomesUpon completion of this course, the students should be able :

To understand the key concepts of modern operating systems. To understand the tradeoff of different algorithms in operating system design. To apply the knowledge to system performance tuning and system administration. To appreciate the wide spectrum of operating systems in different platforms.
