All, doing a 5 minute freewrite. Thank you for reading.
Today is computer programming class and it was conducted inside a computer laboratory so that students can have a direct hands-on on the things that are taught.
The topic that was covered today is on cluster fork which is something that programmers need to be aware when they do their coding so as to manage resources in a manner such that memory and flexibility is being balanced out. The lecturer started and mentioned that cluster mode offers better scalability and fault tolerance, but at the same time consumes more memory and CPU resources. On the other hand, fork mode offers more flexibility and control, but to get it to work, more setup is required at the start but also require a substantial amount of management thereafter. After the sharing, the class was totally confused so the lecturer got the students to start working on it hands-on and ask any questions they might have as their experience writing codes for each variant.
