Course syllabus
The course analyses and compares architectures, features, mechanisms, policies, and management of operating systems with respect to the various operating system structures and the processor management for different information processing architectures (mono-processors, multi-processors, clusters, distributed systems, embedded systems) targeted to the main application areas (transactional systems, interactivity, multimedia, office automation, telecommunications, industrial control, robotics, embedded applications). This course is directed to deepen the competences in designing and managing operating systems, with specific reference to design techniques, configuration, optimization, and maintenance with respect to the system architecture and the processor management.
· Operating systems architectures: kinds and structure, functional characteristics, mechanisms and policies of management.
· Virtualization of the processor: processes scheduling, allocation, static and dynamic reallocation, pipelining, deadlock, starvation; mechanisms and policies for management, for synchronization and for communication between processes; threads; real-time systems, fault tolerance, design of algorithms and data structures for processor virtualization, design evaluation.
