A bulletin board server
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
This challenge consists of two phases. In the first phase you will construct a simple network server. The
next phase will consists of convincing multiple such servers to work together. Read the document completely before starting any coding; everything in the document is part of the specification and it is your
responsibility to ensure that you have implemented the whole server as specified.
1
The challenge is set up so that it gives you the opportunity to showcase your skills at system programming in a POSIX1
environment. Indeed, you must implement the server as a UNIX service (“daemon”) and
you further must use the POSIX API provided by the UNIX standard C library. Therefore your server must
be written in C or C++
You must build a concurrent server, which is able to serve many clients simultaneously. You must provide an implementation based on POSIX threads, using concurrency management and thread preallocation
