| Undervisnings- form: |
Lectures and exercise sessions. |
| Formål: |
The overall purpose of this course is to offer students an understanding of techniques in computer systems with a focus on correctness and adherence to system properties, such as modularity and atomicity, while at the same time achieving high performance. The course exposes students to various system mechanisms, especially from distributed systems, database systems, and network systems. |
| Indhold: |
System abstractions and design principles. Modularity with clients and services. Atomicity and transactions. Concurrency control and recovery. Performance. Fault-tolerance and redundancy. Distributed protocols for agreement and replication. Large-scale data processing. |
| Kompetence- beskrivelse: |
Successful students will acquire a thorough understanding of the design of computer systems; they will be able to discuss design alternatives for a computer system, identifying system properties as well as mechanisms for improving performance. In addition, they will be able to analyze a computer system and devise experiments to evaluate its performance. |
| Målbeskrivelse: |
Describe the design of a computer system. Explain how to enforce modularity through a client-service abstraction. Analyze protocols for concurrency control and recovery, as well as for distribution and replication. Implement systems that include mechanisms for modularity, atomicity, and fault tolerance. Apply principles of large-scale data processing to concrete problems. Structure and conduct experiments to evaluate a system's performance. |
