M9: System Documentation

Your final milestone is to complete the documentation of your system. Your documentation will describe your RPC interface and the internal structure of your operating system well enough that another student in your class could take the project over at this stage and debug or extend your system.

Be sure to point out any known limitations in your system, or any important assumptions you have made.

At the very least you should document:

  • page-table structure,
  • system call dispatching,
  • I/O subsystem, and
  • process management.

If you completed any bonus features be sure to document them as well.

Hints

  • Use LaTeX.
  • Use diagrams.
  • Use a spell-checker.
  • Read Gernot's style guide.
