11860 - Distributed and Parallel Systems II (Concurrency, Replication and Consistency) Modulübersicht

Module Number: 11860
Module Title:Distributed and Parallel Systems II (Concurrency, Replication and Consistency)
  Verteilte und Parallele Systeme II (Nebenläufigkeit, Replikation, Konsistenz)
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Nolte, Jörg
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Each summer semester even year
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome: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.
Contents: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.

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.
