Course content
Computer technology: The main components of the computer and how they interact (system architecture), cache and location, processor architecture. Representation of the most important data types and how the computer stores and processes them.
Operating system: operating system concepts, core, system calls, processes and threads, process communication, concurrency and synchronization, scheduling, virtual memory, paging and segmentation, page replacement algorithms, design and implementation, file system implementation, input / output, deadlock, virtualization, object security, malware and memory security , low level / system programming.
Learning outcome
Knowledge
K1: The candidate can explain how layering / abstraction is used in computer architecture and operating systems to create simplified and tidy interfaces
K2: The candidate can explain how the main components are tuned to optimize performance in modern system architecture.
K3: The candidate can explain how operating systems manage the computer's physical and logical resources with a view to optimal utilization
