Operating systems, computer networks

The subject is intended to familiarize participants with the broad issues of distributed systems distributed systems and parallel processing. The purpose of the course is to present issues related to distributed systems: communication between processes, replication and consistency, virtual and real time, and fault tolerance and atomic transactions. The subject also touches on aspects of parallel processing: architecture of computing centers and the cloud, the concept of clusters, the Hadoop system, the Map-Reduce model, the RDD model and Spark, the Scala language.

For all learning outcomes, the following assessment criteria are adopted for all forms of verification:

grade 5: fully achieved (no obvious shortcomings),

grade 4.5: achieved almost fully and criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,

grade 4: largely achieved and the criteria for a higher grade are not met,

grade 3.5: largely achieved - with a clear majority of positives - and the criteria for granting a higher grade are not met,

grade 3: achieved for most of the cases covered by the verification and criteria for a higher grade are not met,

grade 2: not achieved for most of the cases covered by the verification.
