Concurrency Experiments in a UNIX Environment

分布式计算是分布式计算的许多领域的一个重要方面。 计算机科学，包括架构，操作系统， 编程语言、数据库管理、算法和 人工智能 本科生通常被介绍给 本课题是在操作系统课程期间研究的一个过程 控制和并发。 然而，缺乏规划， 作业，让学生的实际经验，这些 在一个学期的课程概念。 该项目建立了 一个实验室，并制定了创新的实验室课程， 可以作为本科操作系统课程的模型， 其他方案。 该实验室基于工作站， UNIX操作系统在Windows环境中。 十四 工作站和一台服务器已经购置并联网。 一 一系列基于虚拟环的实验和学生项目， 正在实施，并正在编制一份实验室手册， 描述了学生作业，涵盖了包含的大部分主题 在一个标准的操作系统课程。 此外，调试工具 与窗户结合在一起， 并发计算 这笔奖金将由本金支付同等金额 调查机构。

Distributed computing is an important aspect of many fields of computer science including architecture, operating systems, programming languages, data base management, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. Undergraduates are usually introduced to this subject in an operating systems course during a study of process control and concurrency. There is, however, a lack of programming assignments which give students practical experience with these concepts within a single semester course. This project establishes a laboratory and develops an innovative laboratory curriculum which can serve as a model for undergraduate operating systems courses in other programs. The laboratory is workstation-based and uses the UNIX operating system in a windowing environment. Fourteen workstations and a server have been purchased and networked. A series of experiments and student projects based on virtual rings are being implemented, and a laboratory manual is being produced which describes student assignments covering most of the topics contained in a standard operating systems course. In addition, debugging tools are being integrated with the windows to allow students to monitor concurrent computations. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
