Description

Message passing is a technique which allows to implement very performant processing software by splitting computation in pipelines and parallel nodes. However, with the great scalability comes the cost of complexity which might make such a system difficult to understand, develop and maintain. The lecture will cover the basic principles of message passing in data processing systems and typical problems that may occur when implementing and using such kind of software.
