-00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:02,770
-Now to drive home some of the points that I just
-
-2
-00:00:02,770 --> 00:00:05,920
-made, I would like to show you a few real world examples
-
-3
-00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,150
-of architectures that kind of went astray. The first example I
-
-4
-00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:11,970
-want to use is an example from the Linux kernel. Actually, from
-
-5
-00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:15,260
-an earlier version of the Linux kernel. A research group studied
-
-6
-00:00:15,260 --> 00:00:17,020
-the documentation of Linux, and also
-
-7
-00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:19,440
-interviewed several Linux developers. And by
-
-8
-00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,710
-doing that, they were able to come up with a software
-
-9
-00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:25,260
-architecture of Linux at different levels of obstruction. So the one that
-
-10
-00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:27,365
-I'm showing you here on the left, is the
-
-11
-00:00:27,365 --> 00:00:31,120
-software architecture at the level of Linux's main subsystems. So
-
-12
-00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,540
-this is the prescriptive architecture of Linux at the level
-
-13
-00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:38,060
-of Linux's main subsystems. So the researchers, after identifying this
-
-14
-00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:40,420
-architecture, they showed it to the developers, and the
-
-15
-00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:43,180
-developers agreed that, that was indeed the architecture of the
-
-16
-00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:46,540
-system. The researchers then studied the source code of Linux
-
-17
-00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:50,380
-and reverse engineered its actual architecture. So the architecture as
-
-18
-00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:54,020
-implemented, it's descriptive architecture. And this one here, on the
-
-19
-00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:56,610
-right, is the result. And as you can see, they found
-
-20
-00:00:56,610 --> 00:01:00,940
-a number of differences or violations between the prescriptive architecture and
-
-21
-00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:04,080
-the descriptive architecture. In particular, if we look at this architecture,
-
-22
-00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,820
-we can see that pretty much everything talks to everything else,
-
-23
-00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:09,010
-which is, in general, not a good thing. And in addition
-
-24
-00:01:09,010 --> 00:01:11,890
-to that, there are also several things that don't really make
-
-25
-00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:15,630
-much sense. For example the library calls the file system and
-
-26
-00:01:15,630 --> 00:01:19,290
-also the network interface which doesn't make much sense. Another thing
-
-27
-00:01:19,290 --> 00:01:21,850
-that is kind of weird is the fact that file system
-
-28
-00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:25,250
-calls the kernel initialization code. Which is also a little bit
-
-29
-00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:28,100
-weird. So basically, the bottom line here is that not even
-
-30
-00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:32,020
-the developers realized how the actual architecture of the system was,
-
-31
-00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:35,170
-and how it was different from the architecture they have conceived.
-
-32
-00:01:35,170 --> 00:01:37,870
-And in fact another interesting thing here is the reaction of
-
-33
-00:01:37,870 --> 00:01:41,020
-the developers when they were shown the actual architecture. So basically
-
-34
-00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:44,110
-they justified the differences by saying things such as, well you
-
-35
-00:01:44,110 --> 00:01:47,120
-know it had to be done fast, and therefore I changed it
-
-36
-00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,110
-and then I didn't have time to go back and update the documentation
-
-37
-00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:52,800
-and things of this sort. And by the way these are exactly some
-
-38
-00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640
-of the reasons that we mentioned early on in the lesson for the
-
-39
-00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,410
-discrepancy between prescriptive and descriptive software
-
-40
-00:01:58,410 --> 00:01:59,990
-architecture. So one last thing that I
-
-41
-00:01:59,990 --> 00:02:02,840
-want to mention here as an aside and we can get back to
-
-42
-00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,495
-that later is the fact that you can probably clearly show how representing
-
-43
-00:02:06,495 --> 00:02:10,880
-software architectures graphically can be extremely useful, because it allows
-
-44
-00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,140
-for easily seeing the structure of the system. Look at different
-
-45
-00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:17,140
-views identify problematic points and so on. And we will see
-
-46
-00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:19,740
-how that can be useful in many cases also later on.
