Requirements

Exam and project work; participation in exercises may improve a passing grade from the exam. Lectures need to be complemented by self-study.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Objectives

Having passed the course, the student understands the functions, parts, the co-operation of these, and the reasons why the system and its functions are so partitioned. In particular, the student will know the ways in which the system controls programs and the memory allocated to these.

Content

Content	Core content	Complementary knowledge	Specialist knowledge
1.	Parts, their function and co-operation: kernel, process management, memory management, the data structures and algorithms for these. What requirements are placed on the hardware by these.	How the change in the functions or implementation of one part affects another.	How the choices made in designing the system will affect its performance.
2.	The operation of virtual memory, in particular, the page replacement algorithms and their properties.	How to write a program to work efficiently in a system with virtual memory.

Evaluation criteria for the course

The grade of the exam determines the grade for the course. This may be improved by active participation in the exercises, depending on the implementation of the course.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
