[AI-announce] Lecture Program, Operating Systems and System Software Group (Summer Term 2025)

[Timo Hönig]

Dear Students,

Welcome to the Summer Term 2025 at the CS faculty at RUB! With the start of the lecture period next week, I would like to introduce you to the courses offered by the Operating Systems and System Software Group [1].

Lecture: Operating Systems (OS)

Ever wondered how your smartphone stays responsive while running dozens of apps at once? Or how your computer manages to safely share resources between programs without crashing? These mechanisms are powered by operating systems - the software engines behind every modern device. This lecture explores fundamental OS concepts such as process/thread management, process synchronization, memory management, and file systems.

Seminar: Resource-efficient System Software (RESY)

Modern system software plays a critical role in optimizing resource utilization while ensuring maximum operational efficiency in both current and emerging computing environments. Operating systems, as fundamental components of system software, must continually evolve to accommodate new hardware architectures (e.g., non-volatile memory) and changing computational requirements (e.g., near-memory computing). Through an examination of current research, this seminar explores cutting-edge approaches to resource-efficient system software design and implementation.
