CSE3OSA
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject 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; and 3) understand the fundamentals of computer architecture. In the area of operating systems the following key concepts will be covered: concurrency, scheduling, advanced memory management and advanced file systems implementation. In the area of computer architecture, the following will be covered: operations, operands, instructions, addressing, memory hierarchy, instruction level parallelism and data level parallelism.
