Catalog description

Real-time software development. Topics include runtime library construction, abstracting low-level systems, custom data containers, memory tracking, framework development, real-time design patterns, low-level drivers, and graphics engine development. Design and implementation of multi-heap memory management system with aligned allocations with cross heap tracking. Exploration of run-time control of behavior through real-time data driven messaging. Interface development to create a responsive optimized access to abstract data types. Students will design, develop and implement a real-time application (i.e. Graphics engine) that integrates multiple user-developed libraries with real-time constraints. CSC 461 and ( SE 456 or SE 450 ) are prerequisites for this class.
