Abstract
Architecture and implementation of the Unix operating system and kernel;Design, implementation and usage of Unix interprocess communication mechanisms
Content
In the first half of the course, the participants are introduced to the basic concepts of the UNIX operating system (kernel, scheduling, process model, file system, input/output system, memory management). The second half of the course deals with the main topic, interprocess communication. The basic mechanisms, such as signals and pipes, as well as the various specific interprocess communication mechanisms in the main variants of UNIX (4.3 BSD, AT&T System V, and Linux) are discussed, compared to each other and applied in practical and theoretical exercises. The number of participants for the practical exercises is limited.
