Learning outcome
KNOWLEDGE
The candidate:
- can account for how layering/abstraction is used within computer architecture and operating systems to create simplified and tidy interfaces
- can account for how operating systems control the computer's physical and logical resources in terms of optimal utilisation
- can account for how the security mechanisms work and are implemented in modern operating systems and explain the most important safety goals of an OS
SKILLS
The candidate:
- can benefit from their theoretical knowledge of the topic in relevant practical problem solving.
- can utilise the opportunities modern operating systems (and associated standard libraries) offer to parallelise and synchronise computer programs both using processes and threads
- can assess the performance of computer programs, especially in terms of parallelism, caching and virtualisation
- can troubleshoot and debug the execution of computer programs
- can explain in detail how data is stored on a physical storage medium in the most commonly used file systems
- can read and write programs in the subject's programming language
- can solve common, smaller programming tasks
