PPT-The Kernel Abstraction

Debugging as Engineering Much of your time in this course will be spent debugging In industry 50 of software dev is debugging Even more for kernel development How do you reduce time spent debugging. of Synchronization.

Process concept. A process is an OS abstraction for executing a program with limited privileges. Dual-mode operation: user vs. kernel. Kernel-mode: execute with complete privileges. User-mode: execute with fewer privileges. Kenny Denmark. Jason Isenhower. Ross Roessler. Background. A* uses heuristics for efficient searching. Initially, heuristics provided by "expert". Challenge is to have program create heuristics. Coming to Grips with Complexity in Verification. Ken McMillan. Microsoft Research. TexPoint fonts used in EMF: . A. A. A. A. A.

Abstraction in the physical world Yaakov (J) Stein CTO, RAD There are 2 techniques frequently used to solve hard problems and which have been raised to an art in computer science Way of classifying information from abstract (general) to concrete (specific) . .
