Course Objectives
  • Understand Parallel
  • Architectures
  • Systems
  • Algorithms
  • Learn how to
  • Design efficient parallel algorithms, and
  • Implement them on parallel machines
  • Experience the Research Process

3
Official Outline
  • This course explores various aspects of parallel
    computing including parallel architectures,
    algorithms, systems, programming languages and
    implementation issues.
  • The focus is on solving real problems on existing
    parallel machines.
  • Student will be expected to read recent research
    publications, and participate in significant
    parallel implementation projects.

4
Unofficial Outline
  • Clusters, stacks of commodity boxes, have taken
    over the world of parallel computing.
  • Learn how to take a stack of Pentium boxes and a
    Linux  CD and build your own parallel machine.
    Now for the harder trick - learn how to design
    algorithms and systems that can take advantage of
    all those cycles.
  • Be ready to read algorithms papers, write tricky
    C and MPI code and learn to love your parallel
    debugger and profiler.
