WORKING PROGRAM FOR STUDENT COURSE «DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SCHEDULING» AND METHODICAL SUPPORT DESCRIPTION

Abstract

The article describes working program for student course B1.V.04 «Distributed Computing Scheduling» which is taught during second semester of master course 01.04.02 «Applied Mathematics and Informatics» of «Math modeling» specialty. The narration includes description of student course and fragments of study guide to be edited. The description of working program for student course consists of editorial calendar, list of expertise, knowledge and skills which student should obtain after the course «Distributed Computing Scheduling» and criteria for educational outcome results. Methodical support includes laboratory works and demonstration programs. The considered materials were time tried during lectures and laboratory works within 2 years. The article briefly describes software implementation of several illustrative examples (scalar clock and Lamport's mutual exclusion algorithm [1], and Suzuki-Kasami [2] broadcasting algorithm). The implementation is made on platform .NET Framework in programming environment Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 by software language C#. The applications are developed as multithreaded ones for illustration purposes. Within the context of student course «Distributed Computing Scheduling» quite a lot of time is dedicated to independent work. It is assumed that students learn basic concepts and algorithms during lectures, work with demo programs, do laboratory works and then deepen their knowledge following the lecture plan and theme.
