## What it is
A collection of homework exercises and Python simulators accompanying the OSTEP (Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces) textbook. Each simulator generates practice problems and computes solutions for topics like CPU scheduling, virtual memory, and disk scheduling.

## Use cases
- learn operating systems concepts through hands-on exercises
- practice CPU scheduling algorithms with a simulator
- study for an operating systems course exam
- understand how disk scheduling algorithms work
- do self-study of virtualization and memory management
- find programming exercises for OS concepts

## When to choose
- you are reading the OSTEP textbook and want the companion exercises
- you want interactive simulators to solidify OS concepts
- you are teaching an OS course and need ready-made homework material

## When to avoid
- you need production operating system code or a real OS
- you want a general-purpose scheduling or disk tool
- you need a structured course with grading rather than self-directed exercises

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: stable
- function: simulation, developer-tools
- domain: operating-systems, education, tutorials
- platform: python, cross-platform, cli
- tags: operating-systems, ostep, homework, simulators, computer-science, textbook-companion
