Projects and Labs:
You will implement kernel of the simple multitasking operating system, synchroprimitives, implement in it some typical synchronization problem. Also you are to implement some scientific application in the parallel distributed environment You will experience in parallel programming in custom multitasking OS and network clusters. Assignment tasks are available via menu item Labs.
