So this is an advanced course in operating systems, NOT a course in advanced operating systems. Most of this is state of the art circa 1985-1995. Still potentially worth learning, but the class title can be severely misleading. I was expecting cutting edge thought on modern OS design.

- pjmlp 10y agoGiven that mainstream OSes still need to catch up with the use of Xerox Star architecture in terms of safety and developer tooling I find that many students still have a lot to learn outside the UNIX mentality many of these courses have. And this course does exactly that by having some Mesa related classes.
- adamnemecek 10y agoWhat's cutting edge thought in OS design?
- pyvpx 10y agoless and less operating system? (I say that tongue in cheek, looking at unikernels)
- smoyer 10y agoI don't know how course numbering works there but a course with a 122 number here would be a first-year, non-gen-ed class. If you look at the syllabus, most of the material is pretty basic so I'd also question the idea that it's an advanced course.
