No successful participation in module 12339 - Betriebssysteme II (Speicherverwaltung: Mechanismen und Strategien).
Recommended, as written
Knowledge of the content of the module • 12204: Operating Systems I
Contents
Operating Systems II is based on Operating Systems I. The lecture is focused on processes, protection mechanisms used in operating systems, concepts for address spaces, memory management units, methods and techniques for memory management on operating system and runtime environment level, integration and interaction between memory management, I/O systems and networks. In the on-hands assignments the students incrementally implement a virtual memory management system in user mode.
Learning outcomes
Students get to know and understand complex memory management and input/output strategies. They are able to implement those strategies and integrate them into bigger systems. Teamwork abilities are improved.
Assessment
Prerequisite: • Implementation of a prototype Final module examination: • Oral examination, 30-45 min.
Literature (2)
- Lecture Slides.
- Information about current literature is provided on the lecture home page.
