Description

This is a one semester course in parallel computing. It covers basic concepts of parallel computer architectures and parallel algorithms for a variety of applications. Different models of parallel computers, their performance and scalability are investigated. The design and analysis of algorithms, on different parallel architectures, are studied for several widely used problems.

Program
