Intermittent Computing: Desktops to the Cloud

Autumn 2016, TuTh 1030-1150am, Ry 277

Course Objective: Expose students to emerging and historical examples of intermittent computing resources, and the computing models that exploit them. Examples include Condor, Boinc/Entropia - and other P2P systems, as well as modern cloud examples such as Amazon Spot instances (revocable Virtual machines), and Google Cloud functions (serverless computing). A recent motivating example is our Zero-carbon Cloud project. How can these resource be made usable? What problems do they eliminate? How can they be modeled statistically? Predicted? What applications can utilize them effectively?

Students will learn about real systems, build applications, and experiment with Intermittent computing. Course page is http://bit.ly/2ccytIy
