A virtual machine environment for teaching the development of system software
Joseph A. Driscoll, Ralph M. Butler, Joelle M. Key · 2004
An environment for teaching system software concepts is discussed. The DLX architecture serves as a simple yet effective platform for instruction. The environment consists of several components, including a DLX virtual machine (VM) and a graphical user interface (GUI), both written by the authors. Collectively, these components provide a framework upon which concepts ranging from operating systems topics to network protocols can be taught in an intuitive and efficient manner.
