Kurssin suorittaminen

The course has 3 assignments and you have to pass all of them to pass the course. Each assignment is graded separately and the final grade is a weighted average of the individual assignment grades. Assignments 1 and 2 have weight 1 and assignment 3 has weight 2.

 

 

Assignment 1

The first assignment is to implement one distributed algorithm from the following set. Your assignment number is calculated by (your student ID % 4) + 1.

NOTE: Some versions of the assignment sheets have the wrong deadline. The correct deadline is January 20 at 10:00.

  1. Lamport clocks
  2. Vector clocks
  3. Bully election algorithm
  4. Gossiping

 

 

Assignment 2

Assignment 2 is about using Spark to process large data sets. Note that the deadline has been extended to 10.2.

 

Assignment 3

Assignment 3 is about overlay networks. We provide the assignment sheet already now, but official support for the assignment will only start on February 3 when we have the opening lecture on this assignment.
