Course: System Software Exercise
Internal number: MINB3124 Type/mode: Exercise
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Oliver P. Waldhorst 		Language of instruction:

Credits (ECTS): 3 Contact hours: 2
Workload: 150 hours (60 hours presence, 90 hours self-contained work) Assessment: Exercise 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
