Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The main goal of this course is to demonstrate possibilities of parallel running subroutines within one application. Win32 platform is chosen as reference platform (Windows 2000 and Windows XP). Other platform will be compared with this one. Parallel subroutines can be effectively implemented as threads. Functions manipulating with threads, processes, and other OS kernel object will be presented. Critical sections, mutexes, async I/O, exception handling belong among other topics of the course.

Teaching methods

Summary

Programming with parallel running processes until recently was exclusive domain of powerful Unix computers. Increasing computation power of PC machines allows us run multi-tasking OS on common PC. Subroutines parallel running within on process can be implemented on Win32 platform using threads. Possible thread synchronization mechanism, memory sharing etc will be discussed together with threads. Implementation examples will be given.
