Abstract

A simulated hardware, called Alchemy, was used for the laboratory programming project in an introductory operating system (OS) course at the senior/graduate level. Students developed an OS for the hardware from scratch to support time‐sharing, virtual memory, and asynchronous I/O. The hardware simulation and the outline of the OS written by students are reported. The effectiveness of this teaching method on students' learning of OS concepts is also evaluated.
