Learning Reflections

Learning Reflections on the System Software Course

1. Developed a thorough understanding of assemblers, including the roles of Pass 1 and Pass 2 in symbol table creation and machine code generation.

2. Gained insights into the linking loader, including address resolution and loading executable code into memory.

3. Explored the functionality of macro processors and how they simplify repetitive code in system software.

4. Learned the principles of compilers and their role in translating high-level code into executable formats.

5. Strengthened knowledge of runtime environments, resource management, and system-level operations.

6. Enhanced problem-solving skills by debugging and optimizing system software for performance and reliability.

7. Understood how pseudo-operations like START, END control memory allocation and program structure.

8. Learned how system software bridges the gap between hardware and high-level applications.

9. Gained practical experience with creating and managing symbol tables and literal tables.

10. Fostered an appreciation for the complexity and importance of designing robust and efficient system software.
