431-404 Real-Time Computer Systems

Credit Points:

7.1

Prerequisite/s:

431-304 Computer Engineering 3

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorials and project work

Objectives:

On completion of this subject students should:

  • be able to design real time computer systems;

  • understand the finite state machine approach to real time system design;

  • understand the design of a number of example systems;

  • be able to code control algorithms;

  • be able to develop real time software using assembler and C

Content:

A small real-time operating system. Issues involved in the development of real-time systems using an operating system. Finite state machine approach to real time system design. Case studies: Typical real-time system designs such as controllers, data loggers, fuel injection, using microcontrollers and microprocessors. This would include: hardware design: microprocessors and microcontrollers, interfacing peripherals, transducers, algorithms: 3 term controllers, adaptive controllers etc., and programming: program development, assembler, high level languages, development systems. This subject may not be offered every year.

Assessment:

A two-hour examination; practice classes, tests, assignments and project reports, not exceeding 20 pages.
