This course covers high-performance
parallel/distributed computing systems and applications on modern computers. Topics include
- High performance computing and memory hierarchy.
- Parallel architecture and clusters.
- Patterns of parallelism and program transformation.
- Parallel and distributed programming. Threads, OpenMP, MPI, and MapReduce/Spark.
- Parallel algorithms for numerical computing, data mining, and search.
- Performance and parallelism in Internet systems. High throughput computing.
We will cover basic concepts and study recent technical papers in these areas.
The expected work includes a class project/presentation, homework assignments,
and an exam (most likely take-home).
