Title: CPSC 689-612 — Special Topics in Run Time Systems Class schedule: Tuesday and Thursday, 02:20pm - 03:35pm Room: H.R. Bright Building 126 Web pages: http://courses.cs.tamu.edu/gdr/2007.spring/ Instructor: Dr. Gabriel Dos Reis Contact: gdr at cs.tamu.edu Office hours: By appointment (410C) Goals and purpose:
This course introduces students to the field of design and implementation of run time support for modern, high level programming languages such as C++, Java, C#, Haskell, etc. Practical issues and foundational considerations arising from concurrency, advanced generic programming and object oriented constructs for scientific and high-performance computations will be explored.
Topics covered include
- Object Models
- Virtual Machines
- Dynamic Verification
- Exception Handling
- Run time Reflection
- Concurrency
- Just in Time Optimizations
