| Aim: The first part of the course presents the concept of parallel processes, and gives examples of how it is supported by programming languages and cmputer architectures. The second part of the course presents the construction and function of modern operating systems. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Programming courses both at a basic and advanced level, a course in algorithms, a course in computer hardware (eg. TSEA20) Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Supplementary courses: Real-time systems, distributed systems, computer networks, computer architecture. |
|||
| Organisation: A series of lectures presents the theory. Laboratory assignments complements the theory. |
|||
| Course contents: Parallel programming: processes, semaphores, monitors, message passing, deadlock. Operating systems: implementation of processes, file systems, process scheduling, memory management, secondary storage, input/output, security. Case studies: Unix and Windows NT. |
