BTCS 401 Operating Systems

The document discusses the topics covered in the BTCS 401 Operating Systems course. It is divided into two parts: Part A covers process and memory management, including CPU scheduling algorithms, PCBs, deadlocks, memory management policies, fragmentation, virtual memory, and page replacement algorithms. Part B covers device management, file management, multiprocessor and distributed operating systems, and case studies of Linux/UNIX and Windows operating systems. The lab portion involves installing various operating systems in virtual machines, using commands to manage files, directories, processes, and shell programming to automate tasks.
