Distributed Systems Notes-4

A Distributed System consists of independent computers functioning as a unified system, aiming for resource sharing and scalability. Key concepts include communication models like Message Passing and RPC, as well as transaction management with ACID properties and concurrency control techniques. Additionally, replication enhances availability while fault tolerance ensures continued operation despite failures.

Distributed Systems - Quick Notes

UNIT I: Introduction
A Distributed System is a collection of independent computers that appears to users as a single
coherent system.
Goals: Resource sharing, transparency, openness, scalability.
Types of transparency: Access, Location, Migration, Replication, Concurrency, Failure.

UNIT II: Communication


Communication models include Message Passing, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and Remote
Method Invocation (RMI).
Middleware helps applications communicate across different platforms.

UNIT III: Processes and Synchronization


Threads improve concurrency. Clock synchronization can be physical or logical.
Mutual exclusion ensures only one process accesses a critical section at a time.

UNIT IV: Transactions and Concurrency Control


ACID Properties: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability.
Concurrency Control Techniques: Locking, Timestamp Ordering, Optimistic Control.
Distributed Transactions use Two-Phase Commit (2PC) for atomic commitment.
Deadlocks occur when transactions wait indefinitely for each other.

UNIT V: Replication and Fault Tolerance


Replication improves availability and performance.
Fault tolerance enables systems to continue operating despite failures.
Recovery mechanisms restore the system after crashes.
