Lab: Concurrent and Distributed Systems
The design and implementation of concurrent or distributed systems is a notoriously difficult development process. This lab gives students the opportunity to gain experience by applying the theory learned in related lectures in practice (via programming). While the inherent goal of the lab is to find a scalable solution for the given task, students have the freedom to choose their favorite programming language, model, libraries and tools.
Students will be given a set of 3 computational problems each with a sequential solution and have to design and implement a parallelized solution.
Students have to hand in a written report to finish the lab.
Related Courses: The foundations of concurrent and distributed systems are presented in-depth in the corresponding lecture.

Important Notes
- Some student solutions from the CDS lab might be used for our research. The usage will always be anonymous, no private data of students will be exposed within our research. Please contact us if you have further questions.
- The certificates of this lab are not graded by default. Students that need graded certificates have to indicate in on their reports.
- Feel free to write an e-mail to Robert Krahn if you have questions.
