Course Objective

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the foundations of parallel Information Processing, including the principles of parallel computer architectures. Students will learn thinking in parallel to write their own simple parallel codes for both shared- and distributed-memory systems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To understand Parallel Computer Architectures
2   To learn to think in parallel when designing algorithm for parallel architecture
3   To be able to develop code for shared-memory architectures using OpenMP
4   To be able to develop code for distributed-memory architectures using MPI
