- Aim: To introduce qualitative and quantitative
techniques used in the construction and evaluation of operating
systems for computer systems where performance is important, such as
for real-time applications, communication systems and multimedia
systems.
- Contents: Quantitative and algorithmic aspects of
real-time scheduling, virtual memory and memory management, task
management and synchronisation in uniprocessor and multiprocessor
systems, inter-process communication, drivers and I/O systems, disc
and file systems, networks. Modelling and evaluation of
performance. OS architecture and technology. Examples: High-speed
networking, multimedia systems, graphics.
- Keywords: Operating systems; modelling;
performance evaluation; system architecture.
