Rationale An operating system defines a software interface of the computer hardware and the architecture with which computer engineers can control and exploit the hardware to provide maximum benefit to the user. It also manages sharing of resources (hardware and software)  among  the computer’s  users (user programs  and systems  programs). Many of the ideas involved...Read More

Rationale Algorithms are fundamental to computer engineering. The real-world performance of any software or hardware system depends on two things: (1) the algorithms chosen, and (2) the suitability and efficiency of the implementation. Good algorithm design is, therefore, crucial for the performance of all systems. Moreover, the study of algorithms provides insight into the intrinsic...Read More
