This repository contains a two-part academic project onOperating System Design, focused on process scheduling and memory management. Each part covers core operating system concepts implemented in C++, tested with real scenarios, and analyzed with custom-built datasets. This project is part of a six-project academic portfolio developed during graduate coursework.

Implements and evaluates five core CPU scheduling strategies:

• First-Come First-Served (FCFS)
• Shortest Job First (SJF)
• Priority Scheduling
• Round Robin
• Priority with Round Robin

Each algorithm is tested on custom datasets containing 6, 10, and 16 processes. Results focus on metrics like average waiting time and turnaround time. Outputs are generated and analyzed using Python visualization tools.

Simulates five page replacement strategies:

• FIFO
• Optimal
• LRU (Least Recently Used)
• LFU (Least Frequently Used)
• MFU (Most Frequently Used)

Each algorithm is tested with reference strings and evaluated using different frame sizes (10 and 20). The analysis focuses on the number of page faults and efficiency of real-time memory handling strategies.

• Gained hands-on experience simulating low-level OS mechanisms
• Understood how CPU and memory scheduling impacts performance
• Practiced software modularity, input handling, and evaluation pipelines .
• Leveraged C++ for systems programming and Python for analysis and executed those in linux and google colab.
