Course System Programming
Internal number MKIB312	Type/mode Laboratory
Lecturer Prof. Dr. Carsten Sinz	Language of instruction German
Extent (ECTS/SWS) 5/4	Assessment Laboratory Work 1 Semester (not graded)
Content The course is organized in three exercises, covering compiler construction and interprocess communication. Starting with a scanner, the students consolidate their skills in handling large dynamic data structures, pointers, and doing low level IO. The second exercise focuses on the development of a recursive descendent parser and a short introduction to semantic analysis and code generation. The third exercise is an introduction to the field of interprocess communication. Within the exercise, elementary techniques and concepts are trained: generating processes / threads terminating processes / threads synchronizing processes / threads
