Reading

The following table lists chapters and sections out of the required textbooks that you should have read before coming to lecture. OSC is short for Operating System Concepts (by Silberschatz et al) — the chapter numbers are based on the sixth edition, but chapter names are provided in case you’re using a different edition. Please note that the reading assignments are subject to change, and that I will post notices on the blog if and when they do get updated.
