Dr. Swarnendu Biswas
Course Description
To obtain good performance, one needs to write correct but scalable parallel programs using programming language abstractions like threads. In addition, the developer needs to be aware of and utilize many architecture-specific features like vectorization to extract the full performance potential. In this course, we will discuss programming language abstractions with architecture-aware development to learn to write scalable parallel programs.
This course will involve programming assignments to use the concepts learnt in class and appreciate the challenges in extracting performance.
