For an independent study project, I'm going to design several projects for students to use in an undergrad Operating Systems class at Virginia Tech. The goal is to allow the students to take what they learn in class and apply it to a real-life operating system (in this case, Linux). Some possible project ideas include rewriting/modifying/creating: * the process scheduler * the memory paging algorithm * memory/swap management * a mock device driver * whatever else you might think is appropriate This is a one semester class worth 3 credits. If necessary, I will provide "cleaner" wrappers to kernel functions so that students don't have to deal with any messy interfaces. I decided that it would be best if the students modified UML instead of the actual Linux kernel, so I was wondering if anyone on this list had any advice for me. If you can think of any other projects that might be useful, or have any comments (positive or negative) about any of the ideas that I listed, I'd be happy to hear them. If you have any questions about the detail, please ask. Tom Panning tpa...@vt... |
