Description

Version: 3.0 start 01 August 2023
 

Short description

 Efficient use of data and computationally-intensive applications requires basic operating system concepts to be understood. Operating systems also provide many tools for basic data processing and automation through shell scripts. Students use remote virtualised infrastructure and services for data processing, creating and linking data science services to run data- or computationally-intensive applications.

Module contents

Operating systems and tools:

  • Basic concepts of modern operating systems (especially resource management, process management and file system)
  • How to work with the operating system shell. Using operating system tools, implementing pipelines and simple shell scripts to automate data processing tasks.
  • Principles of hardware and operating system virtualization and their application in data processing. Using virtual machines and containers on the local computer and in the data-centre.
  • Interaction between programming language and operating system.

Infrastructure for data- and computing-intensive applications:

  • Version control, data integration and workflows.
  • Cloud computing as well as cloud services for data processing.
  • Usage of cloud services to create data processing workflows (event-based processing, pipelines, DataOps/MLOps, ...)
  • Automated provisioning of data processing services as well as reproducibility of the processing.
