Operating System (OS), 2025-2026
Shiv Nadar University, Chennai, India, Section-AI-DS-A

OSs were no longer just for engineers—they became intuitive and widely accessible. The story of the OS is a story of evolution — from machines that needed exact commands to smart systems that run everything from supercomputers to smartphones.

Assignments OS2025-2026
1 Basic Unix command and Shell: Please download the PDF and follow the instructions carefully. Open a fresh terminal. All commands used in Parts A, B, C and D, along with their outputs, must be pasted on the website or included in a PDF and uploaded to the LMS, depending on your instructor's instructions.

2 Multithreaded Sudoku Solution Validator: Design a multithreaded application to validate a completed 9×9 Sudoku puzzle. Each row, column, and 3×3 subgrid must contain the digits 1 through 9 exactly once. Thread Strategy: (i) 1 thread checks all rows (ii)1 thread checks all columns (iii)9 threads check each 3×3 subgrid Use a 2D array to represent the Sudoku grid. Please find the attachments for more details

3 multiprocess and therad on digital signature: In this task, you will create a text file containing your registration number, generate an RSA 2048-bit key pair, and sign the file with SHA-256 using your private key. The signature will be converted to Base64 format. You will also write a C program that uses process creation (fork + exec) and thread creation (pthread_create) to process the generated signature file (e.g., counting vowels in file.sig.b64). This exercise combines cryptography concepts with concurrent programming in Linux. Please find the attachment for further details.
