Objectif(s)

The objectives of this course are:

  • to study the basic concepts used to design distributed algorithms: processes, failures, etc.
  • to study a set of distributed algorithms that are used in modern distributed systems.

At the end of the course, the student will be familiar with a set of widely used algorithms. In particular, the following families of algorithms will be introduced: consensus algorithms, broadcast algorithms, synchronisation algorithms, etc.

Contenu(s)

The course starts with a description of the main concepts used in distributed algorithms: processes, failures, synchronous vs. asynchronous communications, failure detectors, etc.

We then present a set of distributed algorithms and study the impact of the assumptions (regarding process failures, failure detection, etc.) on the design of the algorithms.

We finally study ways to assess the performance of distributed systems, both theoretically and experimentally.

Prérequis

Basic notions of operating systems.
Basic notions of networks.
