CSE 223B is a 4-unit graduate subject with lectures, paper discussions, a midterm, and technical report exercise, and a major term research project culminating in writing a research paper of your own. It will present abstractions and implementation techniques that facilitate the design of distributed systems–including both operating systems and sophisticated Internet servers–that can deal with the demands of real-world workloads. Topics will include efficient operating system primitives, high-performance network servers, load shedding, storage systems, security, and fault tolerance.

interesting to think about an agent working on tasks and using @IPFS for data management... give a node to an agent and leverage all the capabilities the network has.https://t.co/vPqouTjM8v— steve.prophet (@nilslice) December 22, 2024
