This enables programs to be run at the same time, and enables algorithms to be parallelised to run much faster. We will look at how an operating system kernel facilitates concurrent systems through CPU scheduling and how we can write code to parallelise our software. We will use C++ in this unit, but the code is similar in other languages.</p> <p><strong>ILO 1:</strong> Explain the issues inherent in multi-threaded programs</p><p><strong>ILO 2: </strong>Describe message parsing and its applications</p><p><strong>ILO 3:</strong> Analyse how an operating system provides thread scheduling</p><p><strong>ILO 4: </strong>Describe what makes a concurrent system</p><p><strong>ILO 5:</strong> Develop concurrent programs in C++</p> <p>21 Lectures, 1 Introductory Lab, 5 Worked Tutorial Sheets (online).</p> 0 Other 20% 1 Written exam 80% <p><strong>Coursework:</strong></p><p>2 Blackboard tests - 30 Minutes each</p><p>Write a concurrent program in C++ to implement a given specification. - 10 hours</p><p>The coursework forms 20% of the unit assessment.</p> <p>.</p> EEEN20011 Microcontroller Engineering II Pre-Requisite Compulsory BEng(Hons) Electrical and Elec BEng(Hons) Electrical and Elec Third Year Optional BEng(Hons) Electrical and Elec BEng(Hons) Electrical and Elec Third Year Optional BEng(Hons) Mechatronic Enginee BEng(Hons) Mechatronic Enginee Third Year Optional BEng(Hons) Mechatronic Enginee BEng(Hons) Mechatronic Enginee Third Year Optional MEng (Hons) Electrical and Ele MEng (Hons) Electrical and Ele Third Year Optional MEng (Hons) Electrical and Ele MEng (Hons) Electrical and Ele Third Year Optional MEng (Hons) Mechatronic Engine MEng (Hons) Mechatronic Engine Third Year Optional MEng (Hons) Mechatronic Engine MEng (Hons) Mechatronic Engine Third Year Optional BEng (Hons) Electronic Eng BEng (Hons) Electronic Enginee Third Year Optional BEng (Hons) Electronic Eng WIE BEng(Hons) Electronic Eng WIE Third Year Optional MEng (Hons) Electronic Enginee MEng (Hons) Electronic Engine Third Year Optional MEng (Hons) Electronic Eng WIE MEng Electronic EngineeringWIE Third Year Optional N <p>C++ Concurrency in Action: Practical Multithreading, Anthony Williams, 2012</p><p>-covers the first part of the course.</p><p>Operating Systems : A Modern Perspective, G.
