Learning Outcomes
The purpose of the course is to familiarize students with the concepts and problems encountered when creating multi-threaded programs and what facilities the operating systems and higher level programming languages offer to mitigate these problems. Expected outcomes include:
- Understanding of problems encountered by concurrent access in common resources
- Ability to design and implement software based on concurrent programming principles
- Practical excercises on common techniques for guaranteeing fault tolerance and functional correctness
- Exploitation of offered operating system services for these purposes.
