CMPSC 402 - Cloud Computing


Credits: 4
A study of the principles for dealing with the data sets and the cloud-based distributed systems used by networked services. Participating in hands-on activities that often require teamwork, students investigate topics such as data collection and the scheduling and configuration of cloud-based computation, additionally creating and assessing the components of a distributed system. Leveraging insights and tools from an industry partner, students also learn about existing cloud computing platforms and identify methods for improving their efficiency. During a weekly laboratory session students use advanced distributed computing platforms to complete projects, reporting on their results through both written documents and oral presentations. Students are invited to use their own departmentally approved laptop in this course; a limited number of laptops are available for use during class and lab sessions.

Prerequisite: CMPSC 202 .
