Abstract

Our experience at the University of South Florida with the use of personal computers in an undergraduate class in systems programming is described. To illustrate the principles of concurrent processing, we have implemented a simple, compact, multi-tasking kernel in an exceptionally interactive programming environment. The system has evolved over the past three years and the programs are implemented on IBM PCs and PC compatible computers. A laboratory of some 40 systems within the college serve as workstations for a class of approximately 100 students.
