Introduction to High Performance Computing 3

Catalog description

This course focuses on the fundamentals of developing, analyzing, and implementing parallel, scalable, and highly optimized algorithms for modern multi-core processors. The topics included are the study of distributed systems, resource management in shared/distributed memory systems, multiple-core computers, GPUs, computer clusters, parallel computers architectures, and synchronous/asynchronous computer networks. The problems of parallelization strategies, caching, resource allocation, synchronization, link/process failures in synchronous/asynchronous systems will also be discussed. 3
