To use tools for developing client-server applications, design conceptual, logical and physical models of databases, develop and optimize queries to them, create distributed databases, data warehouses and showcases, knowledge bases, including cloud services, using web programming languages. To perform parallel and distributed computing, apply numerical methods and algorithms for parallel structures, parallel programming languages in the development and operation of parallel and distributed software.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
to know: - architectural features of the organization of PCs of different classes; - functional and structural organization of the PC processor and memory; - principles of multi-level organization of local and global computer networks; - configurations of local area networks and methods of access to them; - hardware and software of telecommunications. be able to: - use Microsoft Visual Studio technologies to develop software projects; - independently debug a computer and software components; - choose the basic configuration of PCs and peripherals; - design the architecture of computer networks and telecommunication systems; to own: - methods of installing and debugging software; - skills of compiling algorithms, writing and debugging programs in one or more programming languages; - methods of designing the architecture and creation of computer networks.
Course content
The discipline is devoted to the study of methods and means of organising high-performance computing. Particular attention is paid to the construction of parallel computing systems, in particular, parallel computing technologies in the architecture of modern applied information systems, as well as available parallel programming software tools. In particular, the course covers the classification of parallel systems and their quality indicators, synchronisation in parallel computing, properties of multithreaded programs, parallel programming patterns, tools and technologies for parallel programming in systems with shared (OpenMP) and distributed (MPI) memory, basics of algorithmisation and software implementation of practical examples of data processing methods (PySpark), implementation of distributed databases, data warehouses and showcases, knowledge bases, including using cloud infrastructures.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical classes, individual work
Assessment methods and criteria
The level of achievement of all planned learning outcomes is determined by the results of written tests, laboratory and independent work. The total share of learning outcomes in the final grade is as follows: learning outcomes - 1 (knowledge) - up to 20%; learning outcomes - 2 (skills) - up to 65%; learning outcomes - 3 (communication) - up to 5%; learning outcomes - 4 (autonomy and responsibility) - up to 10%. The total score for the semester is formed as a weighted sum of points earned by the student for different types of work. A student is given credit based on the results of work during the semester. If the resulting total number of points is 60 and above, the student is awarded "passed". Students with a total score of less than the critical calculation minimum of 40 points are not allowed to take the test. The recommended minimum for admission to the test is 48 points
