Catalogue data
| Abstract | Main goal is teaching knowledge and skills needed for building custom operating systems and runtime environments. Relevant topics are studied at the example of sufficiently simple systems that have been built at our Institute in the past, ranging from purpose-oriented single processor real-time systems up to generic system kernels on multi-core hardware. |
| Learning objective | The lecture's main goal is teaching of knowledge and skills needed for building custom operating systems and runtime environments. The lecture intends to supplement more abstract views of software construction, and to contribute to a better understanding of "how it really works" behind the scenes. |
| Content | Case Study 1: Embedded System - Safety-critical and fault-tolerant monitoring system - Based on an auto-pilot system for helicopters Case Study 2: Multi-Processor Operating System - Universal operating system for symmetric multiprocessors - Shared memory approach - Based on Language-/System Codesign (Active Oberon / A2) Case Study 3: Custom designed Single-Processor System - RISC Single-processor system designed from scratch - Hardware on FPGA - Graphical workstation OS and compiler (Project Oberon) Case Study 4: Custom-designed Multi-Processor System - Special purpose heterogeneous system on a chip - Masssively parallel hard- and software architecture based on message passing - Focus: dataflow based applications |
