The four timetabled Q+A or Examples sessions will be held in LT1 at the timetabled slots for lectures 3, 7, 11 and 15. The 'portrait' timetable shows the first lecture being delivered in person, but this is not the case. In addition, DJ Greaves plans to be demonstating in the Intel Lab for the C/C++ workshops as timetabled for that course, so please feel free to ask him about CC+DS aspects in those sessions. Concurrent Systems 8 Lectures from DJ Greaves. Lecture slides PDF (rev C). Recorded videos are now uploaded: these are essentially last year's ones, slightly enhanced and broken into smaller chunks.

Lecture notes (PDF) (including exercises) Slides: slideshow and printable (PDF) Lecture videos: on YouTube (publicly available) or mp4 files (Raven login required) For distributed systems there will be two in-person examples classes with Dr Kleppmann: on 11 November 2021 and on 25 November 2021, both at 12 noon in LT1. These sessions do not add further content to the course, but will involve some live demos, discussion of example problems (including past exam questions), and opportunities for questions. Please attend if you can! Errata A few changes were made after the lecture notes went to print. Please refer to the online lecture notes for the latest version. On slide 118, the second "if" condition (for log truncation) was corrected. On slides 116, 117, and 118, some variables and parameters were renamed to be easier to follow. On slide 120, the CommitLogEntries function was reformulated to be easier to understand. Last year’s course materials are still available.
