- Aug 30: Those of you looking for a primer/refresher on computer architecture material should read Chapters 3.1-3.11, 4.1-4.5, 5.1-5.3, 7.1-7.4, 8.1-8.5 in "Computer Organization & Design: The
Hardware/Software Interface" by Patterson and Hennessy. The chapter numbers
are from the 2nd edition -- the library has it, or you can find the content listing online and map it to whatever edition you actually have. Keep in mind that this material is purely supplementary: the tests will focus on the OS side
of the content in the course and not on architecture. But there are
some overlaps with the OS side of the content and the material covered
in these chapters, so it may be helpful to those who have skipped the
architecture prereq or have forgotten it over the summer.
- Aug 24: The first lecture is on August 25th. All labs, sections, office hours, etc start next week.
- Aug 24: Welcome to Operating Systems!
