ITCS 8145 - Parallel Computing

Introduction to a wide range of applications, including database systems, web browsers, video games and Artificial Intelligence systems to analyze and improve the performance of applications and analyze parallel codes and systems to predict their performance and bottlenecks. Topics include: Programming multi-core systems and GPUs, theoretical models of parallel computing, performance analysis, parallel algorithms, and real-world applications of parallel computing. Students will learn how to analyze the performance of a parallel application; construct parallel applications to run on CPU and GPU systems; and optimize complex existing applications to derive better application runtimes.
