Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students have skills of design and implementation of various forms of parallel systems to solve big data challenge. They will learn techniques for the parallelization of computations using CPU and GPU and further they will learn techniques for distributed computations. Students will control technologies Apache Spark, Kafka, Cassandra to solve distributed data processing with using data operations: data transformations, aggregation, classification, regression, clustering, frequent patterns.
