Course Content Course Overview and Introduction (2 Lectures): – Why distributed systems? – Defining distributed systems – Course overview and intended learning outcomes – Trends in distributed systems High performance platforms Mobile and ubiquities computing Cloud computing Etc., – Challenges in designing distributed systems Heterogeneity, openness, security, scalability, reliability, concurrency, transparency and quality of service
5
Course Content Architectural Models (1 Lecture): – Client-server, peer-to-peer, tiered and layered architectures Networking (1 Lecture): – Types of networks – Networking principles: Packet transmission Network Layers (Physical, data-link, network and transport layers) Congestion control
6
Course Content Communication Paradigms (1 Lecture): – Socket communication TCP and UDP sockets – Remote invocation RPC and RMI – Indirect communication Message-queuing, publish-subscribe, and group communication systems
7
Course Content Naming (2 Lectures): – Flat naming Broadcasting, forwarding pointers, home-based naming, and distributed hash tables – Structured naming Hierarchical name spaces, name resolution, linking and mounting – Attribute-based naming LDAP and RDF
8
Course Content Synchronization (3 Lectures): – Time synchronization Physical clocks (UTC, Cristian & Berkeley Algorithms and Network Time Protocol) Logical clocks (Lamport and vector clocks) – Distributed Mutual Exclusion Permission-based Token-based – Election Algorithms Bully and Ring algorithms
9
Course Content Consistency and Replication (3 Lectures): – Data-Centric Consistency Models: Continuous, Sequential and Causal Models – Client-Centric Consistency Models: Eventual consistency and client consistency guarantees – Replica Management: Server and content replication and placement strategies – Consistency Protocols: Primary-based, replicated-write and cache coherence protocols
10
Course Content Distributed Programming Models (4 Lectures): – Classical programming models Shared-memory and message-passing models – MPI Library Point-to-point and group communication routines – Hadoop MapReduce, Google’s Pregel and CMU’s GraphLab The parallelism models The programming models The architectural models The computational models Task/Vertex/Job scheduling Distributed application suitability
11
Course Content Fault-Tolerance (3 Lectures) – Failure models Crash, omission, timing, response and byzantine models – Process resilience and agreement protocols Lamport’s agreement protocol – Reliable communication Request-reply reliable communication ( Request-reply call semantics) Group reliable communication ( Virtual synchrony and atomic multicasting) – Recovery ( Checkpointing and message-logging)
12
Course Content Distributed File Systems (2 Lectures): – DFS Aspects: Architectures ( Client-server, cluster-based, and symmetric architectures) Processes (Stateless vs. state-full processes) Communication (RPC2) Naming (Constructing global name spaces) Synchronization (Semantics of file sharing) Consistency and replication (Client-side caching, server- side replication and versioning) Fault-tolerance (Quorum-based mechanisms)
13
Course Content Virtualization (1 Lecture): – Why Virtualization in distributed systems? – Virtualization types Full virtualization vs. para-virtualization – Virtual machine types Process VMs vs. system VMs
