Sharing Teaching Material for Operating Systems

This area is intended to facilitate community collaboration on course material related to Concurrent Computing. Lots of Universities are using Sun's T2000 multi-threaded multi-core machine in teaching about Concurrent Programming, and the community is growing. Hopefully this can be a place to share resources.
