Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in computer science intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites. Course Information: May be repeated in the same or separate terms if topics vary.

This course focuses on high-performance distributed-memory parallelism. We will address (CPU) performance at the node level, weak- and strong-parallel scaling, communication-minimal and low-latency data exchange strategies for a variety of algorithms (e.g., direct linear solves for full and banded systems, iterative solvers, multidimensional FFTs, and hash tables). This is a hands-on course with multiple programming exercises. Students are expected to be proficient in C or Fortran and in unix or variants such as linux. Students will learn how to use MPI at scale and how to optimize single-node performance. This section has seats reserved for special groups. If you receive a RESERVE CLOSED message, the open seats are for a group that does not include you.
