Course Description and Outcomes

Catalog Description
Prerequisites
Outcomes

A study of selected topics in parallel algorithm design through the analysis of algorithms used in various areas of application. The course will investigate the interplay between architecture and algorithmic structure and will discuss the effect that these issues have on the complexity and efficiency of parallel algorithms. Programming projects are required.
