Course description and aims
This lecture forcuses recent high-performance processor architectures such like multi-core processors and GPUs, and covers various techniques (programming techniques, code optimization methods, and tuning schemes) for higher peformance computing on these processors.
This course has two aims. The first is to teach students to understand various high-performance processor architectures. The other is to teach students to understand software techniques including programming techinques, code optimization techniques, turing techniques, and etc., in order to achieve higher performance
on these high-performance processor architectures.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to understand
- Techniques for High-Performance Computing on Multi-core processos
- Techniques for High-Performance Computing on GPU
Keywords
Parallel Computing, High-Performance Computing, Multi-Core Processors, GPU
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
1) At the beginning of each class, the previous class are reviewed.
2) Towards the end of class, students are given assignments related to what is taught on that day to solve.
3) Before coming to class, students should read the course schedule and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
