Course Description
(3-0-3)
Enabling Technologies and
Distributed System Models for Cloud Computing, Clustering, Virtualization,
Data Centers, Cloud Computing Service Models, Cloud Service Providers, Service Oriented
Architecture, Cloud Programming Paradigms, MapReduce, Hadoop, Cloud Algorithms,
NoSQL, BigTable, HBase, Pig, Hive, Building a Search Engine.
Objectives: This course provides an introduction to the
technologies behind cloud computing. A combination of lectures and
hands-on programming assignments and a term project expose the students
to the leading cloud computing paradigms and programming interfaces
(e.g., Amazon EC2, Hadoop). In addition, lectures provide an overview of
the underlying clustering technologies that make cloud computing
possible (e.g., cluster networking, software DSM, virtual machines). The
students will complete a simple assignment using Amazon EC2 individually
and a term project performed in groups of 2-3 students. In the term
project, the students will build a private Cloud on a PC cluster from
scratch and participate in the design, assembling, configuring, and
benchmarking of the private Cloud system. The software stack may include
Linux, Hadoop, Xen, OpenStack. Each project team is
required to prepare a project report, do a live demo and a presentation
at the end of the semester.
Term Project: The
final term project is done individually for such a small class this
year. Sample term project topics include CPU/GPU clusters, virtual
clusters, virtual machine architecture, P2P networks, cloud platforms,
datacenter architecture, Internet of Things, cloud programming
experiments on AWS, innovative applications in the cloud, IoT and social
networks, etc. All project topics must be approved by Prof. Dr.
Gümüşkaya before starting the effort.
Prerequisites
 |
Basic understanding of Linux operating
system and some experiences in system level programming (Java, C, or
C++) are required. The students are expected to exercise the systems
configuration and administration under a Linux cluster.
