COSC 345 - Introduction to High Performance Computing

3 Credits
3 lecture hours.

This course offers a general introduction to high performance computing (HPC) highlighting parallel and distributed computing and supercomputing focusing on the problems for which they were designed and the languages used to control them.  Topics include a history of large-scale computation and architectural classification of the various machines and platforms (e.g. cluster, grid, cloud) currently available.  After measurements of program performance and general methods of optimization have been introduced, a study of dependencies and their influences upon vectorization and parallelism will be covered.

Prerequisite(s) COSC 112  and MATH 243   completed with grades of “C” or higher
Offered (AS NEEDED)
