Updates
- 2023/24
- Minor tweaks to slides, primarily formatting. Reorganised the example sheet into three separate sheets, with answers to all questions in the supervisor copies.
- 2022/23
- Minor syllabus updates to include topics that had been lectured for several years but had never been explicitly listed. The examples sheet has not changed. The major change was that the UNIX case study was rewritten to be Linux focused. Less significant changes include the addition of a small amount of material on bootstrapping and virtualisation, and some basic material on disk I/O scheduling.
- 2017—2022
