PVL (e.g. Practical):	graded (benotet [Erfolgreiche Teilnahme am Praktikum: Die Prüfungsvorleistung ist erbracht worden, wenn die benoteten Praktikumsabgaben - Übungsaufgaben und ein Projekt in Kleingruppen - mit Note 4.0 oder besser bestanden wurden])
PVL percentage:	50%
Frequency of offering:	each year (lastly in WS 2021/2022)
Required knowledge:	Experience with modern C++ development (C++17) Experience writing native software under Linux
Learning objectives:	The students are able to understand, design and implement hardware-efficient systems software. Students will learn the fundamentals of a modern systems programming language (Rust) and how it compares to the widely used systems programming language C++. Students will understand how to balance performance, safety and maintainability while writing systems software. By focusing on two different systems programming languages, good programming skills and a deep understanding of common systems programming concepts are encouraged.
Content:	What is Systems Programming and how does it compare to Application Programming? Zero-overhead abstractions in C++ and Rust and how they help to write fast, readable and maintainable code The fundamentals of memory management and memory safety Error handling concepts in C++ and Rust for writing robust systems software System level I/O and Network Programming Fearless concurrency Profiling and tracing: How to measure, evaluate and tweak performance Tools for developing, debugging and maintaining systems software Students will gain extensive hands-on experience in systems programming by analyzing open-source code and developing their own systems in the lab.
