Topics
The Distributed Operating Systems lecture continues and consolidates the topics of the basic course Operating Systems and Security. It is particularly focused on presenting a balanced combination of distributed systems in-use as well as research projects and their underlying construction principles.
The lecture will cover the following aspects:
- Scalability and Fault Tolerance
- Memory Consistency and Synchronization in Parallel Systems
- Security in Distributed Systems and Trusted Computing
Slides
Slides will be published here shortly before the lectures.
- Scalability and DNS
- Parallel Systems Software:
High Performance Computing,
Additional slides (MPI),
Additional literature:
