CSE 745 / Parallel and High Performance Computing

3 unit(s)

An introduction to general ideas and principles of parallel programming followed by a presentation of the shared-memory and message-passing approaches to parallel code development based on, respectively, the OpenMP and MPI standards. Students will develop simple parallel applications in C and FORTRAN, so some prior programming experience in those languages is required. Students will acquire the skills necessary to operate, debug and modify existing parallel codes and available libraries (such as PDE solvers) using these standard approaches for various applications.
