Tiedolliset oppimistulokset (ydinaines ja -osaaminen)

After completing the unit the student understands the meaning and effects of the things in the list above when processes are run concurrently. In addition to that he/she knows how these things are implemented in the software according the latest version of the standard IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (Posix). A special emphasis is put on the real time extensions of the standard like timers, real time signals, asynchronous i/o, semaphores, shared memory objects and so on.

Taidolliset oppimistulokset (ydinaines ja -osaaminen)

After completing the course the student masters in practice the technique needed to implement real-time and embedded software systems using operating system services via the operating system calls and library functions. He/she can develop systems that consist of multiple communicating processes or threads. The student can design and implement real-time applications that work in reliable way so that all timing combinations of different asynchronous events that could cause problems are taken into consideration.
