Learning objectives
Elements of Computer Architectures: The course aims to provide the theoretical and practical knowledge underlying the creation of an algorithm in digital form. At the end of the course, the student will have to: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the combinatorial and sequential logic systems underlying the digital implementation of an algorithm; Know how to apply the knowledge acquired in order to identify the architectural characteristics of a machine according to the requirements of the task to be carried out; Be able to choose and evaluate different complementary choices of an algorithm ranging between the use of a generic processor and the construction of a dedicated digital device, also depending on the complexity of implementation; Know how to argue in a technical and precise way for the creation of an algorithm in digital form; Be able to continue the studies independently or face the world of work also in the field of digital system design. Operating Systems I: The course aims to provide an introduction to the principles and design of operating systems in relation to their general structure, process and thread management, dealing with implementation solutions in adequate detail. Provide the fundamentals for interfacing with operating systems both via shell and posix API. At the end of the course, the student will have to: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the internal organization, functioning, and services of an operating system in relation to process management and synchronization problems; Know how to apply the knowledge acquired in order to develop both shell script programs and system programs using posix APIs; Be able to choose and evaluate design choices within the services offered by an operating system; Knowing how to argue in a technical and precise way the functioning of an operating system in relation to process management; Be able to continue the studies independently in the field of operating systems.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade is obtained considering the specific grades of each written exam for theory and laboratory of both modules. The written exams have a 25% weight each, with a maximum grade of 30. All the 4 grades must be at least 18 to be useful for the final grade. The final grade is rounded upwards.
