Operating system concepts-2

Are you looking to ace your competitive programming exams, job interviews or ace your operating systems course exams? Then you’ve come to the right place because this comprehensive course on multithreading and operating system concepts has got you covered.

Did you know that a single-threaded process can only execute on one core even if the machine has eight cores? A multithreaded process can exploit the true hardware parallelism to enhance the performance of the program. In this course, you’ll learn how to implement correct multithreaded programs without data races and use locks and semaphores to implement correct synchronization solutions.

Here are some of the intriguing questions that you’ll learn the answers to in this course:

– What are data races?
– What is process synchronization?
– How do we implement correct multithreaded programs without data races?
– What are locks and semaphores?
– What are the necessary conditions for deadlocks?
– How do operating systems deal with deadlocks?
– How do operating systems implement threads?
– How do operating systems implement locks to ensure correct mutual exclusion and synchronization?

In this course, we’ll cover all of these topics in great detail. You’ll learn why using threads in programs can enhance the performance of the program and what the overheads of using processes are. You’ll also learn about the key idea behind threads, the difference between single vs multithreaded processes, the benefits of using threads, and much more.

We’ll also dive deep into Pthreads and learn how to create a thread using Pthread, how to pass parameters to a thread, how to use Pthread self, Pthread equal, and how to terminate a thread. You’ll also learn how to use Pthread join to wait for a thread to terminate, how to return values from thread functions, and how to wait for threads.

The course will also cover global variables in threads, concurrency in programs, race conditions and atomic operations, synchronization, and the correctness properties for synchronization solutions. You’ll also learn how to enforce mutual exclusion, what locks are, and how to use locks in Pthreads. We’ll also cover semaphores and synchronization patterns, bounded concurrent access, signaling, and how to employ semaphores to avoid busy waiting.

You’ll also learn about the challenges of multicore programming and designing multithreaded programs. We’ll also cover thread pools, the readers-writers problem, and how to solve the readers-writers problem. We’ll also touch upon the dining philosophers problem and how to solve it.

The course will also cover the four necessary conditions for deadlocks, how to prevent deadlocks, what a resource allocation graph is, and how to handle deadlocks. You’ll also learn how to implement threads, what user threads and kernel threads are, how threads are implemented in Linux, and how locks are implemented.

You’ll also learn about the Test And Set atomic instruction, spin locks, and how locks influence performance. Udemy offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and if you’re interested in taking one of our courses but cannot purchase it, you can apply for a scholarship to enroll.
