Course Description (Bulletin Description):
This course introduces the fundamentals of parallel programming and computing implemented in the shared and distributed system models. Course covers primarily programming of multithreaded applications using threads and OpenMP; other topics discussed include: implementing parallel algorithms, serial versus parallel algorithm performance, and MPI.

Course Objectives (Course-level Student Learning Outcomes):
At the completion of the course, the student will be able to 1. Define terminology commonly used in parallel computing, such as efficiency and speedup. 2. Given a problem, develop an efficient parallel algorithm to solve it. 3. Given a parallel algorithm, implement it using threads, OpenMP, or for some cases MPI. 4. Given a parallel code, analyze its performance and optimize the performance of the code. 5. Given a parallel code, debug it and fix the errors. 6. Given a problem, implement an efficient and correct code to solve it, analyze its performance, and give convincing written and oral presentations explaining your achievements.
Topics Covered (In Outline/Calendar):
• Parallel Hardware and Software • Introduction to Threads • OpenMP programming • MPI architectures & programming • CUDA Programming
Student Learning Outcomes:
- Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. (SLO1)
- Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline. (SLO2)
