Course description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Distributed, Parallel, and Cloud Computing and explores how modern computing systems process large and complex workloads efficiently.

Learners will study the principles of distributed systems, where multiple computers work together to accomplish shared tasks, as well as parallel computing, where computational tasks are divided and executed simultaneously across multiple processors or computing resources.

The course also introduces cloud computing and its role in providing scalable, flexible, and on-demand computing resources over the internet. Key topics include cloud service models, deployment models, virtualization, distributed architectures, resource management, scalability, fault tolerance, and cloud-based applications.

Through theoretical concepts and practical examples, learners will develop an understanding of how distributed, parallel, and cloud technologies are used to build high-performance and scalable software systems. The course provides a strong foundation for further study and practical work in cloud computing, distributed systems, DevOps, and modern software infrastructure.
