During a review of study plans, the course A4M35OSP can be substituted for the course B4M36ESW.

It is not possible to register for the course B4M36ESW if the student is concurrently registered for or has already completed the course A4M35OSP (mutually exclusive courses).

It is not possible to register for the course B4M36ESW if the student is concurrently registered for or has already completed the course BE4M36ESW (mutually exclusive courses).

It is not possible to register for the course B4M36ESW if the student is concurrently registered for or has previously completed the course BE4M36ESW (mutually exclusive courses).

The requirement for course B4M36ESW can be fulfilled by substitution with the course BE4M36ESW.

Synopsis:

Within the course of Efficient software you will get familiar with the area of software and algorithm optimization under limited resources. The course is focused on the efficient usage of modern hardware architectures - multi-core and multi-processor systems with shared memory. Students will practically implmenet and use presented techniques in C and Java. Main topics are: code optimization, effective data structures and processor cache usage, data structures in multi-threaded applications and implementation of efficient network servers.

Requirements:

background knowledge in area of Computer architecture, C and Java programming languages

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction, modern computer architecture, compiler, profiling

2. Virtual machine, byte-code, (de-)compilers, disassembler, profiling

3. Benchmarking, measurements, statistics

4. Scalable synchronization

5. Data races, synchronization, atomic operations, non-blocking algorithms

6. Non-blocking I/O, C10K, efficient networking

7. Data structure serialization

8. Memory, caches, allocators

9. JVM - Memory analysis, data structures, collections for performance

10. JVM - Object allocation, bloom filters, references, effective caching

11. Memory Management in JVM - Memory Layout, Garbage Collectors

12. Virtualization (IOMMU, SR-IOV, PCI pass-through, virtio, .)

13. C program compilation and execution
