OPERATING SYSTEMS

CSE3OSS

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This unit has the following main goals: 1) understand key operating system concepts and algorithms and their realization in different modern operating systems; 2) apply those concepts and algorithms to write high performance concurrent programs. Modern computers all contain multiple cores. These cores allow concurrent program execution. It turns out writing programs that can use multiple cores at the same time to solve a problem is very challenging. In this unit you will learn important skills in writing correct and robust concurrent programs that allow you to solve problems using multiple cores simultaneously. The following key concepts will be covered in this unit: concurrency program execution and control, scheduling, advanced memory management, and advanced file systems implementation. Some introductory compiler construction techniques will also be covered.
