  • The resources for the 4th week (calendar week 40) of the course

    During the fourth week we went deeper into the OS technology and studied memory implementation. For modern systems,  implementing the virtual memory is complex. Much of the complexity is caused by performance considerations.

    During the lecture session on Monday (2020-10-04) we studied virtual memory with a focus on the structures needed in the implementation

    • The related slides are in the section Materials

    The link to the video of the week is below
    • If you could not attend the lecture, watch it instead. It has roughly the same contents as the lecture.
    The course exercise sessions continued also on Monday (2020-10-04). The 3rd exercises session concentrated on the 3rd exercise round, which addresses memory with a focus on paging and hardware acceleration mechanisms.

    • The week is a good time to do the fourth round of the exercises.
    • Remember the course discussion forum, where you can ask questions anytime.
