The project explores the advantages of writing multi-threaded code over traditional, sequential style code. A multi-threaded C-program is created on a Raspberry-pi that makes
use of the multiple cores of a Raspberry-pi and runs simultaneously. Two shell scripts are forked as child processes, that grabs the background system data, at the time when
the multi-threaded code is running and this data is then piped into two respective text files. A Perl script is used to break the stored data to extract useful information that
is used to analyse the working of OS as the Kernel-Level threads are created.
A detailed explaination is provided Here.
- Learned to write multi-threaded code
- Learned to work with multiple child processes spawned from a parent process
- Improved shell scripting skills
- Learned to write code in Perl
- Gained a deeper understanding of the lower level workings of an OS
