## IP Paris courses

>| # CSC4508: Operating systems (François Trahay and Gaël Thomas, 5 ECTS)
>| Course on operating system internals.
>| Based on classical MIT's xv6 operating system, each class is dedicated to one of the subsystems/concepts of OS (memory, scheduler, concurrency, FS etc).
>| Very classical fundamental course on OS, makes senseto take it if and only if you haven't had a similar course before.
>| Practical course, involves a lot of programming in C.
>| Full program is available on the [course page](https://www-inf.telecom-sudparis.eu/COURS/CSC4508/Supports/index_ipparis.php)

>| # CSC5001: High performance runtimes (Élisabeth Brunet, François Trahay and Gaël Thomas, 5 ECTS)
>| ...

>| # CSC5002: Middleware and software architecture for distributed applications (Sophie Chabridon, Chantal Taconet and Denis Conan, 5 ECTS)
>| ...

>| # CSC5003: Data analytic infrastructures (Amel Bouzeghoub, 5 ECTS)
>| ...

>| # CSC5004: Cloud infrastructures (Pierre Sutra and Mathieu Bacou, 5 ECTS)
>| ...

>| # CSC5101: Advanced programming of multi-core architectures (Gaël Thomas, 5 ECTS)
>| This course has both in-depth coverage of classical parallel programming with multi-threading and oveview of some cool concepts such as transactional memory, NUMA and non-volatile memory. Consists of theoretical information on all of the topics and mostly practice with implementing stuff in C.
