Learning outcomes
This course provides a broad introduction to the fundamentals in large-scale parallel computing systems that deals with very large data sets. The course topics cover programming models (MapReduce, Pregel), algorithmic design (text processing, inverted indexing, graph analysis), and system architecture (datacenter topologies, communication, failure management).
Program
- Programming frameworks -
Distributed filesystems (HFS), NoSQL systems (HBase, Cassandra), data and graph processing (MapReduce, Pregel), SQL-like systems (Pig, Hive);
- Algorithms -
Design of algorithms for text processing, inverted indexing (PageRank), and graph analysis.
- Datacenter architectures -
Topologies (VL2, PortLand, c-Through), communication protocols (spanning tree, ECMP, OpenFlow), failure management.
