Catalog description

Real-time constrained multithreaded architecture. Topics include multithreaded handle development, inter-thread communication, creating systems for user-defined callbacks, asynchronous loading and streaming of resources, non-blocking threading synchronization, design patterns and data driven messaging with time delivery constraints. Design and implementation of thread safe data management with atomic non-blocking synchronization. Exploration of real-time data driven messaging to allowing the run-time object data to control the behavior an application. Students will design, develop and implement a multithreaded real-time application (i.e. Audio engine) that integrates existing single and multithreaded middleware libraries. CSC 461 and ( SE 456 or SE 450 ) are prerequisites for this class.
