Operating Systems Principles

These are the slides used in the scheduled lectures. Each set of slides is in pdf format, six slides to the page. I do not intend to read, or even reference, all of these slides in the lecture. They are:

• to let you know what will be covered under each topic
• for reference and illustration during discussions
• to remind me of key points I wanted to cover, and the order in which I wanted to cover them
• to save you the trouble of writing down notes that I have already committed to writing
• to enable you to review material that has been covered (for exam review)
