Learning outcomes
LO06. Analyze, estimate and choose methods, modern hardware and software systems, programming tools, technologies, algorithmic and software solutions for effective implementation of specific software-related production tasks. LO07. Justifiably choose programming paradigms and languages for various applications; apply in practice system and specialized tools, component-based frameworks and integrated development environments.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Have a notion: about modern computer architecture. 2. Know: general knowledge in the field of operating systems and system programming, selected topics from distributed computation field. 3. Be able to: read C code. 4. Have basic skills: of software testing and debugging.
Course content
The aim of the discipline is comprehensive study of principles for design and implementation of modern operating systems as well as investigation of basic algorithms for hardware and virtual resources management. Understanding of common features and differences between modern operating systems, trends in the system software evolution. As a result of studying the discipline, the student must: know principles for design and implementation of modern operating systems, their organization, common algorithms used, virtual resources and abstractions created by them, and also nonconventional approached to operating system construction; be able to effectively work with modern operating system source code, build them, implement drivers and extensions of modern operating systems, effectively use modern operating system management tools.
