Book : Programming Models for Distributed Computation

[Nitin Bhide]

From the introduction

Source repo for the book that I and my students in my course at Northeastern University, CS7680 Special Topics in Computing Systems: Programming Models for Distributed Computing, are writing on the topic of programming models for distributed systems.
This is a book about the programming constructs we use to build distributed systems. These range from the small, RPC, futures, actors, to the large; systems built up of these components like MapReduce and Spark. We explore issues and concerns central to distributed systems like consistency, availability, and fault tolerance, from the lens of the programming models and frameworks that the programmer uses to build these systems.

Covers concepts like

1. RPC

2. Futures and Promises

3. Message Passing.

Adding to topics listed by Nitin. One interesting topic listed is Actors, its very beautiful and powerful tool.

To give idea about its usage, Whatsapp(Erlang), LinkedIn, Tesla Virtual power Plant(both Akka Actors, JVM).
