Computer Science · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Covers fundamental concepts regarding design and implementation of distributed systems. Topics include synchronization (e.g., clock synchronization, logical clocks, vector clocks), failure recovery (e.g., snapshotting, primary-backup), consistency models (e.g., linearizability, eventual, causal), consensus protocols (e.g., Paxos, Raft), distributed transactions, and lock. Students gain hands-on, practical experience through multiple programming assignments that work through steps of creating fault-tolerant, sharded key/value store. Exploration of how these concepts have manifested in several real-world, large-scale distributed systems used by Internet companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon.
