2015-12-29 - algorithms for cloud computing

i just got informed that algorithms for cloud computing presentation has been made public on nokia's wrocław main page and is now available for download. originally it has been prepared as an internal training, but since it contained next to none details about Nokia's plans/developments and received very good feedback from the teams in different sites, it has been decided it can be made public¹⁾! :) and so in (nearly) unchanged form it is now available to anyone interested – have fun! :)

presentation covers the following subjects:

• introduction to cloud and cloud computing
• gossip protocol
• membership:
  • gossip-based
  • SWIM membership protocol
• map-reduce
• raft consensus algorithm
• CAP theorem
• time:
  • clock synchronization
  • Lamport timestamps
  • vector clocks
• distributed hash tables:
  • chord
  • kelips

btw - greetz to the miotacze piorunów team, for a lot of hard work put into this 1.5h long talk! :)

since the full content has been presented during the internal trainings, only the (slightly truncated) slides are available online. this is however enough get up to speed with the subject, with minimal time requirements.
