Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the fundamental concepts of distributed computing systems that deal with very large data sets, together with the programming paradigms adopted by these systems. At the end of the course the student must demonstrate that he has acquired the necessary knowledge to evaluate the possible alternatives in the design of the analysis of large amounts of data, considering the benefits and limitations of the different approaches. This knowledge will allow the student to: i) configure parallel data processing systems; ii) design solutions to analyze large amounts of data; iii) evaluate the solutions for data analysis with parallel systems, considering the system resources necessary for the analysis; iv) continue the studies autonomously in the development of advanced analysis of large amounts of data.
Program
* Programming frameworks:
-- Distributed filesystems (HDFS);
-- Data and graph processing (MapReduce, Pregel);
-- SQL-like systems (Pig, Hive);
-- NoSQL systems (HBase, Cassandra).
* Algorithms:
-- Design of algorithms for text processing;
-- Indexing algorithms (inverted indexing);
-- Graph analysis (PageRank).
* Datacenter architectures:
-- Datacenter organization;
-- Datacenter networking;
-- Failure management.
Bibliography
Examination Methods
Examination consists of a project and the corresponding documentation. The project aims at verifying the comprehension of course contents and the capability to apply these contents in the resolution of a problem. The project topic is agreed with the teacher and focus on specific case studies. The project includes the performance evaluation for different input sizes, and the evaluation of the implementation alternatives. After the evaluation of the project documentation, the student may give an oral exam where the details of the project are discussed.
Type D and Type F activities
Le attività formative di tipologia D sono a scelta dello studente, quelle di tipologia F sono ulteriori conoscenze utili all’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro (tirocini, competenze trasversali, project works, ecc.). In base al Regolamento Didattico del Corso, alcune attività possono essere scelte e inserite autonomamente a libretto, altre devono essere approvate da apposita commissione per verificarne la coerenza con il piano di studio. Le attività formative di tipologia D o F possono essere ricoperte dalle seguenti attività.
1. Insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona
Comprendono gli insegnamenti sotto riportati e/o nel Catalogo degli insegnamenti (che può essere filtrato anche per lingua di erogazione tramite la Ricerca avanzata).
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: se l'insegnamento è compreso tra quelli sottoelencati, lo studente può inserirlo autonomamente durante il periodo in cui il piano di studi è aperto; in caso contrario, lo studente deve fare richiesta alla Segreteria, inviando a carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it il modulo nel periodo indicato.
2. Attestato o equipollenza linguistica CLA
Oltre a quelle richieste dal piano di studi, per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022 vengono riconosciute:
- Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
- Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
Tali cfu saranno riconosciuti, fino ad un massimo di 6 cfu complessivi, di tipologia F se il piano didattico lo consente, oppure di tipologia D. Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.
Gli immatricolati fino all'A.A. 2020/2021 devono consultare le informazioni che si trovano qui.
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: richiedere l’attestato o l'equipollenza al CLA e inviarlo alla Segreteria Studenti - Carriere per l’inserimento dell’esame in carriera, tramite mail: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Competenze trasversali
Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal TALC - Teaching and learning center dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'anno accademico di erogazione del corso https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: non è previsto l'inserimento dell'insegnamento nel piano di studi. Solo in seguito all'ottenimento dell'Open Badge verranno automaticamente convalidati i CFU a libretto. La registrazione dei CFU in carriera non è istantanea, ma ci saranno da attendere dei tempi tecnici.
4. Periodo di stage/tirocinio
Oltre ai CFU previsti dal piano di studi (verificare attentamente quanto indicato sul Regolamento Didattico): qui informazioni su come attivare lo stage.
