Course Description This course will cover the techniques and topics that are widely used in real-world parallel computing. This is about learning how to run your programs on hundreds of computers or thousands of CPUs to solve real-world large problems. This is about how to handle large-scale data processing as those used in Google. Students in science and engineering will all benefit from this course as scientific computing has become one of the main ways for discovery and invention.
Course Highlights Many interesting applications, Hands-on projects, exposure to latest techniques. Topics include but not limited to:
- Linux cluster computing
- PBS systems
- Parallel programming using MPI, OpenMP, pthreads
Prerequisite You should be able to program using high-level language C/C++ or java.
