"Distributed algorithmic" : is the scientific discipline that identifies the necessary and sufficient conditions on networks, big or small, to find the universality of the Turing machine. When these conditions are not satisfied, it is a matter of defining the forms of restricted universality that can be achieved. Without this, it is impossible to understand what algorithms run on a blockchain, a cloud, a data center or the Internet of Things do, nor to define what exactly multi-architectures can be calculated. -processeurs. In other words, it is impossible to understand modern computing that is fundamentally distributed.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachid GUERRAOUI has been appointed guest professor at the Collège de France for the academic year 2018-2019. He will occupy the annual chair Computer Science and Digital Sciences where he will deliver a series of courses on algorithmic (see their presentation and the poster and the agenda of courses and seminars), addressing issues such as: atomicity in a distributed system, dynamic distributed system, shared memory power, the impossibility of consensus, the blockchain, solution or problem, etc. Rachid GUERRAOUI will give his inaugural lecture Thursday, October 25 at 18:00. The Collège de France will be pleased to welcome representatives of the press and the media. Source: College de France
