Lecture notes

• Industrial Algorithms and Numerical Programming (FHS, ITS)
  [lecture notes winter 2023]

• Microcontroller (FHS, ITS)
  [lecture material summer 2024]
  Microcontroller basics • technology trade-offs • basic CPU architecture • von Neumann vs. Harvard • instruction set • RICS vs. CISC • programs & life cycle • instruction decoding • digital I/O (ports, pull-up, read-modify-write) • platform-independent C data types • hardware abstraction (HAL, WiringPi, Linux kernel map) • stack (stack pointer, frame, function calls) • interrupts (interrupt control, ISR design aspects, life cycle) • external interrupts • UART (blocking vs. non-blocking) • counter & timer • input capture • output capture • PWM generation • SPI • Analog I/O • Raspbery Pi architecture • memory mapping & address spaces • GPIO register handling • memory (types, technology, access times) • caching hierarchy • addressing mode • endianess • real-time basics (deadline, temporal determinism, rare events, types, WCET) • distributed real-time systems • real-time scheduling (basics, EDF & LL, schedulability, Dhall’s effect) • real-time Linux • co-kernel & PREEMPT_RT • scheduling classes • programming with SCHED_DEADLINE • EDF + CBS • tools for real-time • dependent tasks & priority inversion

• Network-oriented Software Engineering (FHS, ITS/WIN)
  [lecture slides summer 2023]
  Java basics (data types, operators, strings, arrays, variables, control flow, OOP, packages, polymorphism & dynamic binding, abstract classes and interfaces, cloning) • Exception handling • processes & threads • concurrency & parallelism • synchronization • Java I/O • non-blocking I/O • socket programming • concurrency models for client-server architectures (fork on request, preforking, event-driven architecture) • Java reflection • distributed system basics • middleware & transparencies • RPC & marshalling • object-based architectures (distributed objects, RMI) • service-oriented architectures • W3C web services • resource-based architectures (REST, Spring Boot)

• Distributed Software Architectures (FHS, MMT)
  [lecture slides 2019]
  Concurrent & network programming • client-server architectures (concurrency models, event-driven architecture, NGINX case study) • object-based architectures (distribution transparencies, middleware, RPC, distributed objects, Ice) • service-oriented and resource-based architectures (SOA, W3C, SOAP, WSDL, REST) • message-oriented communication (process coupling, pubsub, zeromq, persistent messaging, AMQP) • queuing theory (M/M/1 queue, Kendall’s notation, Little’s law, Markov chains)

• Datastructures and Algorithms (FHS, MMT)
  [lecture slides 2012]
  Part 1 (C++): const, copy & assignment ctor • inheritence and composition, exception and assert • polymorphism, RTTI, OOP concepts • overloading, static members • templates. Part 2 (Algorithms and data structures): linked lists, nested classes • stacks and queues • trees, recursion, traversals • time complexity and algorithm techniques (divide and conquer, dynamic programming, knapsack) • sorting (selection sort, insertion sort, worst-case bound, merge sort, in-place, heap sort, quicksort, partial and total orders, stability) • hash tables • STL • graphs (definitions, trees, adjacency matrix/lists, DFS, BFS, cycle detection, Euler walks, Hamiltonian cycles, TSP, MST, Prim, Kruskal, shortest path, Dijkstra, colored graphs, further outlook)
