CSL204: Operating Systems Lab

This repository contains the programs and resources developed during the CSL204 Operating Systems Lab sessions.

Purpose

This repository serves as a central hub for sharing and referencing the lab programs and resources created in CSL204. It aims to:

• Facilitate collaboration: Students can access and share code and resources with each other, enabling better understanding and troubleshooting.
• Maintain a record of work: Programs and resources are preserved for future reference and revision.
• Promote learning: Sharing and reviewing code and resources promotes knowledge exchange and reinforces key operating systems concepts.

Repository Structure

The repository is organized into folders corresponding to each lab session topic:

• Bankers Algorithm: Contains programs and resources related to implementing and simulating the Banker's algorithm for deadlock prevention.
• Disk Scheduling: Contains programs and resources related to implementing various disk scheduling algorithms like FCFS, SSTF, SCAN, etc.
• IPC Semaphore: Contains programs and resources related to implementing and using semaphores for inter-process communication and synchronization.
• IPC shm: Contains programs and resources related to using shared memory for inter-process communication.
• Memory Allocation: Contains programs and resources related to implementing various memory allocation algorithms like fixed-size partitioning, variable-size partitioning, buddy system, etc.
• Page Replacement: Contains programs and resources related to implementing various page replacement algorithms like FIFO, LRU, OPT, etc.
• Process Scheduling: Contains programs and resources related to implementing various process scheduling algorithms like FCFS, SJF, Priority, etc.
• Shell programs: Contains shell scripts written for various tasks related to process management, file system manipulation, etc.
• System Calls: Contains programs and resources related to using various system calls for file operations, process management, etc.
