Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Have acquired highly specialised and integrated knowledge and broad skills in the various disciplines of computer science, which come after those within the Bachelor's in computer science.
• Carry out development or innovation projects in IT.
• Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to contribute to the achievement of a development or innovation project.
• Master the complexity of such work and take into account the objectives and constraints which characterise it.
• Master communication techniques.
• Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy to evolve in new contexts.
• Apply scientific methodology.
• Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to describe the fundamental principles governing the development of modern operating systems built in the form of successive layers. They can explain interactions between different components of operating systems and can solve synchronization problems more or less complex. 

Thanks to the practical part, they will be able to develop system programs in C in a UNIX environment.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Functions and features of an operating system;
kernel processes, semaphores, synchronization;
Memory management;
Inputs / Outputs;
File systems;
Scheduling;
Allocation and distribution of resources.

Prior Experience

Computer architecture, operating mode of a processor; interrupt mechanism; hard disk partitions, memory addressing
