Francis Giraldeau works on high performance software, distributed applications and kernel tracing. You will find his code on GitHub and more information on his Blog.

Teaching

I try to design activities to provide significant experiences for students so that they are able to build a strong concept network. Activities that I suggest are based on problem solving and active learning. All labs are based on Open Source tools.

INF2610 - Operating System

System calls in assembly, kernel tracing, race conditions, deadlock, passive and active locking, virtual memory, communication with pipes, parallel image processing project.
