Abstract:

As one of the core techniques in the IT area, operating systems (OSs) play a critical role in both national and military information security. The development of OSs must be independent and under the control of the country to avoid security threat and limitation of active insurance or update. Considering the importance of maintaining our information systems independent, the development of domestic operating systems draws a higher demand on talent cultivation. We analyze the mismatch between engineering ability of developers and requirements of operating system development, from the aspects of development requirements and existing challenges for graduates and course teaching in universities. On that basis, we revise the talent cultivation scheme and try to improve students’ programming capacity from aspects of code quality and software maintenance, and  apply the BOPPPS model to our curriculum design. Besides, we carry on a number of practical teaching reforms with support of Kylin operating system and the highperformance computing platform provided by Tianhe supercomputer. We aim to further enhance teaching effectiveness and cultivate more innovative talents.

Key words: domestic operating system, talent cultivation
