Operating Systems

Description

Learning outcomes and development goals K1 Have a basic scientific-disciplinary knowledge and understanding of the polyvalent training of Engineering Technology G3 Critical reflection I1 Problem analysis and solving I2 Designing and/or developing P1 Operationalising Objectives The student has a thorough knowledge of the inner workings of an operating system, organized into thematic module. The student knows which solutions exist for different parts of the operating system (K1). The student has insight into the advantages and disadvantages of the design decisions made in commodity operating systems w.r.t. process and thread management, synchronization, deadlock, memory management, file systems, and task scheduling (K1, G3). The student knows the possible architectures for virtual machines and hypervisors, and knows what each type of hypervisor is best suited for (K1, G3). The student can apply the gathered knowledge by re-implementing or modifying some of the basic OS algorithms, or by setting up, configuring, and managing commodity operating systems (I1, I2, P1).
