Inhalte

Distributed and Parallel Systems 2 is centered on aspects of synchronization and concistency in distributed systems. Models and pradigms for parallel processing (task -vs. data perallelism, collective operations, tuple spaces and data flow models, lazy and greedy synchronization) are key to the lecture. Furthermore, active and passive methods of replication and their corresponding models of consistency (weak vs. strong) are also taught. The lecture is accompanied by a hand-on assignment on the PC-cluster.

Lernziele

The students get to know coordination techniques for parallel activities in distributed systems, they understand and are able to implement/use them. Also, different models of consistency and ways to evaluate them are taught. Teamwork is further improved.

Prüfungsleistung

Bemerkungen

• Study programme Computer Science M.Sc.: Compulsory elective module in complex „Applied and Technical Computer Science“ (level 400) • Study programme Information and Media Technology M.Sc.: Compulsory elective module in „Dependable HW/SW-Systems“ • Study programme eBusiness M.Sc.: Compulsory elective module in main focus „Development and Deployment of eBusiness Systems“ • Study programme Cyber Security M.Sc.: Compulsory elective module in complex „Computer Science“ • Study programme Artificial Intelligence Engineering M.Sc.: Compulsory elective module in complex „Software-based Systems“ If there is no need that the module is taught in English, alternatively the german version 12432 "Verteilte und Parallele Systeme II (Nebenläufigkeit, Replikation, Konsistenz)" may be offered instead. Modules 11860 "Distributed and Parallel Systems II (Concurrency, Replication and Consistency)" and 12432 "Verteilte und Parallele Systeme II (Nebenläufigkeit, Replikation, Konsistenz)" can not be combined.
