Foundations of Concurrent and Distributed Systems
Most of the new CPUs have multiple cores. This will require concurrent applications that can harness the computing power of the underlying processors. This course focuses on the foundations of concurrent and distributed systems that are required for engineering concurrent and also distributed applications. Besides the theoretical foundations, the course will also show how to build high-performance concurrent programs.
Outline
- Multiprocessor and multicore architectures
- Mutual Exclusion
- Linearizability
- Atomic registers
- Consensus, universality
- Spin locks, contention
- Concurrent linked Lists, queues, stacks, hash tables
- Work stealing, dynamic load balancing
- Barriers, combining
- Transactional memory
