About the Instructor: Dr. Sathya Peri is currently an Professor in CSE Department of IIT
Hyderabad (IITH). His research interests broadly comprise of parallel and distributed systems.
One of the areas he looks in efficient ways to parallelize using Software Transactional Memory
Systems (STMs) while also exploring lock-free & wait-free algorithms. In the context of
distributed systems, his interest includes Blockchain and Peer-to-Peer Systems. He is currently
working on improving the efficiency of Smart Contract Execution in Blockchains Systems.
Familiarity with multi-threading in C/C++.
Assessment may consist of assignments and/or quizzes and/or viva and/or exams.
