Description
CS420/CSE402/ECE492: Parallel Programming for Science & Engineering
Time: Wednesday/Friday 11-12:15,
Place: Siebel 0216
Lecturer: Prof. Marc Snir
The course will discuss approaches to improving program performance by
Improving locality
Using vector operations and pipelining
Using shared memory parallelism with OpenMP
Using GPU accelerators with OpenMP
Using distributed memory parallelism with MPI
Using map-reduce frameworks
We shall discuss through the course basic parallel programming patterns.
The course targets advanced undergraduates and graduates who are not CS students. CS students are encouraged to take CS484 in the Spring.
Ability to program in C, C++ or Fortran is needed in order to complete the MPs.
Credit: 3 hours (undergraduate); 4 hours (graduate). Graduate students will take a programming project for the extra point credit.
Registration: The course may be full but usually seats become available after the first couple of weeks. Please drop you registration as soon as possible if you decide not to take the course, so as to accommodate students on the waiting list.
Credit (for 3 point students)
Quizzes: every 2 weeks 10%
MP's: every 3 weeks: 30%
Midterm exam: 25%
Final exam: 35%
Credit (for 4 points students)
75% of the grade determined as aboove
25% final project
Unless said otherwise, MPs are done individually -- do not share code. Final projects are done in groups of 3-4 students.
