Here is initial documentation on the State Machine language (STM) that we will use for projects.
    STM.doc.txt documents the STM's library functions and events.
    (Edit 8/26/14: Added :/usr/bin to the PATH in the above document. Added export TERM="xterm".
     We will ssh mcgonagall to run our projects. Do not run them on acad!)
Here is a conference paper on the Fall 2013 use of STM in the course.
We will use one or more of these models under ~parson/OpSys/ on acad / mcgongall to introduce the state machines.
    Make sure to attend and watch the Zoom videos.

Textbook slides (KU password protected, use full userid@live.kutztown.edu, works better with Firefox)

    Chapter 1 -- Introduction
    Chapter 2 -- Operating System Structures
    Chapter 3 -- Processes
    Chapter 4 -- Threads
    Chapter 5 -- Process Synchronization
        A mutex without a condition variable versus a mutex with a condition variable.       
        ~parson/OpSys/PipesPrisoners2018.problem.zip and PipesPrisoners2018.solution.zip,
            Player*.java files show synchronization solutions using atomics, locks, and semaphores.
        Here are Java doc pages for java.util.concurrent, java.util.concurrent.atomic, and java.util.concurrent.locks.
    Chapter 6 -- CPU Scheduling
    The handout on the STM sample(...) function will be useful in upcoming assignments.
    Chapter 7 -- Deadlocks

Assignments -- From acad you must "ssh mcgonagall" to build & test all assignments.

    Users of the vim editor: Nathan Rew has graciously coded vim config files for syntax highlighting of our STM source code.
        Please see ~parson/OpSys/STMSyntax/ for instructions in READMEstm.txt and the two config files. Thanks, Nathan!

    If you are new to working on our Linux systems, you can bring up a Windows CMD prompt and from there:
        ssh YOURLOGINID@acad.kutztown.edu

    It is possible to use the scp, ssh-based file copy command in Mac or Windows command line utilities.

    If you do not have a favorite Linux text editor, try running nano on acad. Assignments must run on mcgonagall.

ASSIGNMENT 1 is due at 11:59 PM on Thursday February 22 via make turnitin on the command line.

We will go over Interpreting State Machine Log Files before Assignment 2.

ASSIGNMENT 2 WAS due at 11:59 PM on Thursday March 14 via make turnitin on the command line.
    As of March 11, anyone turning it in by end of March 14 gets 10% bonus points. Bugs still count as before.
    The final due date is now Thursday March 21 at 11:59 PM with a 10% per day late penalty.
    Anything coming in after I go over it in class March 26 at noon is worth 0%.

ASSIGNMENT 3 on context scheduling is due at 11:59 PM on Thursday April 11 via make turnitin.

ASSIGNMENT 4 on Using Reference Strings to simulate page replacement algorithms in demand paging,
        make turnitin due by 11:59 PM on Thursday May 2.
    April 4 class is examination of 2021 Assignment 4 on variations of process swapping.
    I will go over ~parson/OpSys/swap4prj2021.solution.zip demo in class.
 
ASSIGNMENT 5 is a README Q&A on my extension to ASSIGNMENT 4. You have no coding
    to do. I have updated ASSN4 code. I have made the frameCount and statistical distribution
    of page references vary from ASSN4 to measure their effect on the page replacement timing.
    It is due as a text file via D2L Assignment 5 by the end of Thursday May 9.
    You do not need to use acad or mcgonagall for this assignment. It is in place of a final exam.
    I will answer questions about the frameCount and statistical distribution of page references,
    but I will not answer questions about the README Q1-10 beyond clarifying any confusing wording.

ZOOM Recordings

Jan 23 Class Intro to operating systems and discussion of state machine diagram models.
    There is dead space from around 10 to 17 minutes when we lost power in Old Main 159.
Jan 25 Class Went over example state machine code and generated diagram. To try it on acad:
    cd $HOME ; mkdir OpSys ; cd ./OpSys ; cp ~parson/OpSys/demo1fall2020.zip  demo1fall2020.zip
