Course Description:
CS J452/J552 Real-Time Operating Systems (3 cr)
Topics of interest in the implementation of Real-Time Operating Systems,
especially as applicable to embedded systems, including a relevant
hardware review, interrupts and interrupt handling, real-time scheduling
principles and implementation, latency, task management, shared data
and synchronization, timers, message passing, tradeoffs between memory
space and speed. Students will build a simple but relatively complete
real-time operating system over the course of the semester. Additional
projects and assignments are required for graduate credit. (Spring only)
Prereq: CS 240 (Operating systems) or equiv., or permission
