Abstract

Most undergraduate programs related to Computer Science offer a Computer Systems course with a systems architect’s perspective. The Systems Software course we have been teaching at PUC-Rio over the last ten years emphasizes instead a software perspective; its main goal is to make students understand how data and control abstractions offered by C are mapped to the basic mechanisms of a typical architecture. In this paper we describe our experience teaching this course as well as the materials we have developed for it over the years. We also discuss our recent introduction of a new topic on basic concurrency constructs.
