This video is part of an 8-lecture series on distributed systems, given as part of the undergraduate computer science course at the University of Cambridge. It is preceded by an 8-lecture course on concurrent systems for which videos are not publicly available, but slides can be found on the course web page: www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/212...

As always high standard of your writing in the book and the same lecture series. Please keep up this great work of yours. Thank you!

This is gold. I should have found you 2 years ago, dear teacher. I was looking for answers and nobody helped me. I was drowning in the ocean of distributed systems, feeling overwhelmed by it.

It's very rare to find such a beautifully explained lecture on Distributed systems. This series is a gem! Thanks!

Network model that we use is partially asynchronous meaning we expect it to behave synchronously most of the time (upper bound on delivery and execution time) but can sometimes due to lost packets or congestion take longer than what we expect

This is so interesting and useful! Do we have alternative names for these classifications? I found it difficult to find about them online, searching for "distributed system models" or so.

Thanks!

Potential typo in synchrony assumptions slide: I believe you meant
"Partially" synchronous?

Why we should study these theories when we don't learn nothing about how to code or how to design distributed systems?
