Operating Systems
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
Il corso consentirà allo studente di comprendere i principali concetti su cui è basata la realizzazione di un sistema operativo, le sue funzionalità principali nonchè acquisire padronanza nell'uso delle principali API del sistema operativo Linux. Al fine di fornire agli studenti una migliore comprensione dei diversi temi affrontati verrà affrontato lo studio delle componenit principali di un sistema operativo didattico: il sistema operativo JOS. L'ispezione del codice sorgente di JOS, permetterà agli studenti di apprendere come sono implementate su architetture reali le principali funzionalità di un sistema operativo e le relazioni che intercorrono tra i vari componenti del sistema operativo. In laboratorio gli studenti saranno messi in grado di modificare il codice sorgente del kernel di JOS modificando o aggiungendo alcune funzionalità. In tal modo potranno anche imparare le nozioni di base della programmazione di sistema.
