Student research opportunities
A Software Architecture for a Distributed System
Project Code: CECS_7
This project is available at the following levels:
CS single semester, Engn4200, Engn R&D, Honours
Please note that this project is only for undergraduate students.
Supervisor:
Dr Mark ReedOutline:
This project involves working with a team on software development for a radio modelling system. The software will be designed to support a distributed and highly scalable platform running on a node cluster or the cloud. The software will be a combination of C and MATLAB code running on a PC.
Goals of this project
The goals of this project are to develop a highly scalable software environment and platform to show how a simple program can be scaled using a Cluster.
Requirements/Prerequisites
The student is expect to have good software skills and problem solving skills. The ability to program in C is essential, and perhaps experience with MPI. Communication system understanding is helpful but not essential.
Student Gain
The student will get exposure to the latest distributed software tools while working with a team of highly motivated researchers. The project will involve working with clusters and distributed software and face challenging problems including synchronisation issues and efficient software for the given application.
