This is a collection of academic programming projects that accompany an operating systems textbook, designed to teach core OS concepts through hands-on implementation. The projects span the major subsystems of an operating system, including process scheduling, memory management, file systems, and concurrency, with students building components from scratch in a simulated environment. The projects are structured to cover the full range of OS internals, from low-level kernel development to user-space system programming. Students implement lottery-based CPU schedulers, dynamic heap memory allocat

This project is an educational framework and toolkit designed for developing and testing operating system kernels. It provides a structured environment for implementing fundamental system primitives, including virtual memory management, preemptive process scheduling, and filesystem organization, using Rust and C. The framework is specifically oriented toward RISC-V and x86 architectures, serving as a laboratory for learning how to build core system software from the ground up. The project distinguishes itself by supporting both bare-metal deployment and hardware emulation, allowing developers

This project is an educational operating system kernel designed to demonstrate the fundamental architectural principles of memory paging and process management. It is implemented as a minimal kernel that serves as a practical reference for building a functioning system from the ground up. The implementation features a preemptive multitasking kernel that switches execution contexts between threads to share a single CPU. It includes an x86 virtual memory manager that uses paging to map virtual addresses to physical memory and isolate processes. The system covers low-level hardware interfacing
