It was a heavy start, but the two courses complemented each other well — GIOS covered the abstractions and mechanisms of modern systems, while IHPC pushed into the algorithmic side of parallel computation.</p> <hr> <h2 id="cs-6200--graduate-introduction-to-operating-systems">CS 6200 — Graduate Introduction to Operating Systems</h2> <p>GIOS was the anchor course of the semester — a deep, practical dive into how operating systems work, from single-node mechanisms through to distributed systems. The course is structured around the lens of abstractions, mechanisms, and policies, which became a recurring mental model I still use when thinking about systems design.</p>
