Choose an alternative operating system besides MAC OS, Windows, or Unix and do a detailed analysis of how the operating system works or worked

1. Alternative Operating System
Choose an alternative operating system besides MAC OS, Windows, or Unix and do a detailed analysis of how the operating system works or worked. Include the various topics we have studied in class including process scheduling, memory management kernel type and so on. In addition, compare it to the three mainstream operating systems (Windows, Linux, MAC OS) in terms of functionality, implementation, and scope. There are many other possible alternative operating systems. Do some research. Some possible examples include but are not limited to:
MULTICS
Note: Any version of Windows, Linux and MAC are OFF LIMITS!

2. Distributed Operating Systems
There has been a lot of work on distributed operating systems and research continues. You should be able to find a lot of material.

3. The Reiser File System
The Reiser file system is one of the options for Linux. What is the Reiser file system? How does it differ from EXT3 and EXT2? In what situations would it be an appropriate file system to use over EXT3 or EXT2? Find at least one more file system is supported in Linux . Describe and compare it to the reiser file system as well as EXT3 and EXT2.

Note: I am not interested in any information regarding the author of the Reiser file systems criminal trial/disposition. This is purely a technical discussion.

4. Other File Systems Supported by Linux
The Linux Kernel supports many different file systems. Research file systems that are supported by the Linux Kernel and write up the details of three of them. How are they different than the EXT3 or EXT2? What was the motivation for implementing these file systems? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Note: EXT3, EXT2, NTFS, FAT, FAT32 and Reiser file systems cannot be used.

5. Cluster Computer OS Support
Investigate the topic of cluster computing in the context of operating systems. What does an operating system need to provide to support using multiple processors or cluster computing? What are the major problems the operating system has to solve to support cluster computing? Identify and describe at least 3 operating systems that have clustering support and how it is implemented in each.

6. Real-Time Operating Systems
Explain the difference between a traditional operating system and a real-time operating system. Identify and describe scenarios or environments in which a RTOS makes sense. Also identify and compare at least three RTOS operating systems that are in wide use. In addition to comparing them to each other, compare them to at least one mainstream OS to highlight the differences. Process scheduling is important here and should be discussed in detail.

7. Multimedia Operating Systems
Explain the difference between a traditional operating system and one that is designed to support multimedia. Identify at least three multimedia operating systems (or modifications to traditional operating systems) that are used and how they differ from each other as well as a traditional operating system. Process scheduling is important here and should be discussed in detail. Be sure and include detail about how multimedia files and streams are constructed and processed.
