Målsætning : The study of operating systems and the control programs they comprise is a classical discipline within computer science. The purpose of this study module is to provide the background and context for understanding the principles behind the designs of all operating systems.
Through practical exercises the students will acquire a working knowledge of how these principles are put into practice in real operating systems.
Hovedindhold : Using the Operating System.
Processes and Threads.
Cooperating Processes and Synchronization
Memory Management and Virtual Storage.
IO-system and Device Management.
Networks and Distributed Computing.
The Linux and Windows Kernels.
Undervisningsform : Theory combined with practical exercises and working on an assignment.
Krævede forudsætninger : General knowledge of programming. A basic knowledge of C (or C++) will be an advantage.
Anbefalede forudsætninger : None
Relationer : Operating Systems have a close relationship with computer architecture. Hence this course in Operating Systems and the course in Computer Architecture (ARK) can benefit from each other.
Prøveform : Mundtlig evaluering på grundlag af kursusopgaver
Censur : Intern
Bedømmelse : 13-skala
Bemærkninger : The student will present an assignment picked at random among the mandatory assignments. The presentation must cover relevant theory as well as the practical solution of the assignment. The duration of the exam is approximately 30 minutes per student.
