COMP4300/6430: Parallel Systems

Semester 1, 2013

This is an honours/masters level course that covers a variety of topics related to parallel computer systems. You will learn about parallel hardware and associated programming models, and how to divide up computation so that it can be executed in parallel. We will explore the current state of high end computing both for computationally intensive and data intensive computing. The course will make use of the supercomputer located on campus at the National Computational Infrastructure facility.

• NCI Tour Tuesday 21 May during lecture time. Meet 2:20pm at NCI building 143. This is located on the other side of campus very close to the main entrance to John Curtin School of Medical Research. It will take you about 15 minutes to walk there. Tour will last about 1 hour. As stated in lectures this is brand new building and very large machine. It is worth a look.
• There will be no lab in week 13. All labs are now finished.
