    Web page: http://www-inf.telecom-sudparis.eu/COURS/CSC4508/Supports/index_ipparis.php

    This course presents the design principles of modern operating systems. In this course you will learn:

    • how applications interact with the operating system and how the operating system interacts with the hardware
    • the main internal mechanisms of an operating system (memory manager, I/O subsystem, scheduler)
    • how these mechanisms are implemented in a real operating system through the study of the XV6 operating system
    • how to develop parallel applications and parallel operating systems with threads

  • CSC5001: High performance runtimes (Élisabeth Brunet, François Trahay and Gaël Thomas, 5 ECTS)

    With the advent of multicore processors (and now many-core processors with several dozens of execution units), expressing parallelism is mandatory to enable high performance on different kinds of applications (scientific computing, big-data...). In this context, this course details multiple parallel programming paradigms to help exploiting such a large number of cores on different target architectures (regular CPUs and GPUs). The course introduces distributed-memory model (MPI), shared-memory model (OpenMP) and heterogeneous model (CUDA). All these approaches would allow leveraging the performance of differents computers (from small servers to large supercomputers listed in Top500).

  • CSC_51057_EP (INF557): From the Internet to the IoT: Fundamental of Modern Computer Networking (Thomas Clausen, 5 ECTS)

    Calendar: https://www-inf.telecom-sudparis.eu/COURS/masteripparis/pds/?page=../common/courses&genics=SLR204&genics=CSC_51057_EP

    The 21th century is, if anything, becoming a data-driven century. Interaction with everyday objects may yield a wealth of information, especially when correlated: if in an apartment the fridge door is being opened and closed regularly, then presumably apartment is inhabited ; if a drinking glass is subsequently emptied, presumably the inhabitant is alive and well, and, is staying both fresh and hydrated ; if the BBQ or the oven is used frequently, perhaps the inhabitant is either overeating (and so, a potential customer for diet plans) or is entertaining frequently (and so, a a potential customer for party supplies) — something which analysing the usage patterns of the door bell would reveal…

    A premise for being able to analyse usage patterns and interactions is, of course, that these physical actions are captured and transformed into data — and, that these data are communicated from everyday objects with and through the Internet, and to the cloud.

    And so, the 21th century is necessarily also the connected century: smartphones, watches, fridges, toothbrushes, drinking glasses, coffee machines, medical implants, BBQs, office plants, and forks are all becoming connected objects, generating data — and thus, becoming part of the Internet.

    Outside of the consumer market, knowing the state of a machine, of an airplane engine, or of a power substation, permits scheduling predictive maintenance and avoid accidents — embedded sensors able to capture, and communicate, this state is a necessary premise.

    As a matter of fact, a company launching a product today that doesn't "run an app" and "connects to the Internet" is a company, which just hasn't grasped the needs (or, at least, the desires) of its market - much as the guy installing the bike rack on the left, clearly misunderstood his "target market".

    In order to ensure that YOU do not end up being that gal/guy, building a product miserably missing the market, this course provides you with the core competencies, necessary for developing connected systems.

    This course:

      • Offers a pragmatic and practical approach to communicating systems and to computer networking
      • Studies, for each of the four major functional layers in a protocol stack (data-link, internetwork, transport, and application) the fundamental ideas, algorithms, and architectural principles, that apply “from the Internet, and to the IoT”
      • Provides an in-depth tutorial in the principles behind TCP/IP Networking
      • Introduces and decrypts modern Internet and IoT protocols: from IPv6 to 6LoWPAN, from ALOHA through Ethernet and WiFi to LoRa and Bluetooth — and from the WEB and REST to CORE And CoAP
      • Provides practical experience in developing networked applications, and in developing and implementing protocols.

    In short, this course provides an in-depth understanding of “how the net works” (pun intended), and gives the necessary baggage for an engineer (regardless of area of exercise) to be able to design communicating systems.

    This course is self-contained: it assumes some programming skills, and a lot of curiosity — and will introduce the rest as it goes along. Each lesson will consist of a lecture, followed by 2h of lab (TD). This course is calibrated so that a student should expect to spend 1-2h/week outside of class, reviewing material and/or finishing exercises.

    Requirements:

    A good dose of curiosity is required.
    (Having followed INF321 or INF311+411 probably won’t hurt)

     

    Evaluation mechanism:

    Weekly submissions (either of homework, or of quizzes) worth 50% of the final grade, and a final exam QCM worth the other 50% of the grade.

    Language:

    English (with, at least, bilingual teaching staff)

  • CSC_51071_EP (INF571): Distributed Data Structures, with a Spotlight on Blockchains (Constantin Enea and Daniel Augot, 5 ECTS)

    Calendar: https://www-inf.telecom-sudparis.eu/COURS/masteripparis/pds/?page=../common/courses&genics=SLR204&genics=CSC_51071_EP

    Distributed systems are composed of several computational units, classically called processes, that run concurrently and independently, without any central control. Additional difficulties are introduced by asynchrony (processes and channels operate at different speeds) and by limited local knowledge (each process has only a local view of the system and has a limited amount of information). Distributed algorithms are algorithms designed to run in this quite challenging setting. They arise in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, internet, peer-to-peer computing, blockchain technology...

    This course aims at giving a comprehensive introduction to the field of distributed algorithms. A collection of significant algorithms will be presented for asynchronous networked systems, with a particular emphasis on their correctness proofs. Algorithms will be analyzed according to various measures of interest (eg., time and space complexities, communication costs). We will also present some "negative" results, i.e., impossibility theorems and lower bounds as they play a useful role for a system designer to determine what problems are solvable and at what cost.

  • CSC_51075_EP (INF575): Safe Intelligent Systems (Sylvie Putot, 5 ECTS)

    Web page: https://moodle.polytechnique.fr/course/info.php?name=INF575-2020
    Calendar: https://www-inf.telecom-sudparis.eu/COURS/masteripparis/pds/?page=../common/courses&genics=SLR204&genics=CSC_51075_EP

    The interaction of computer components, which compute and communicate, with their environment governed by physical laws, such as an aircraft or an implanted medical system, is at the centre of the emerging field of cyber-physical systems. Among the challenges posed by these systems that we will focus on is the increasing use of artificial intelligence algorithms (typically neural networks) for both perception and control.

    Mastering the modelling, control and verification of the behaviour of such systems is crucial to guarantee the efficiency, functionality and reliability of these systems, which are increasingly complex and most often critical in terms of safety or cost.

    The course will focus on finding a balance between modeling and verification, and between theoretical foundations and practical aspects. In particular, it will introduce the principles and the use of some tools representative of the state of the art, and will focus on realistic case studies (notably a temporal model of a pacemaker modelled and verified with the Uppaal tool).

    Content:

    • Introduction, models and synchronous languages
    • Synchronous Languages: Specification and Verification
    • Time-delayed automatons
    • Time logic and model-checking verification
    • Modeling and simulation of hybrid systems
    • Reachability analysis of hybrid systems
    • Stability and control of hybrid systems
    • Safety of intelligent stand-alone systems

    The course is illustrated by applicative exercises (in progress), and by practical work sessions using different modeling and verification tools. The last four sessions are dedicated to a project, in which the students can choose to focus on the modeling and verification of a cyber-physical system, or on the further study of an aspect of a verification method.

    The course will be validated for a small half on the practical work, and the remaining half on the project and associated oral.
