Course info

This course is an introduction to parallel computing and aims at teaching basic models of parallel programming including the principles of parallel algorithm design, modern processors and parallel computer architectures, programming models for shared and distributed-memory systems, optimization and performance analysis, OpenMP, message passing programming models along with some important scientific and engineering algorithms/parallel patterns.

Major part of the course includes lectures and Lab Component for actual implementation after learning the basics of Parallel programming and HPC.

Course format

3 hours lecture per week. + 3 hours lab per week.

Course Placement

HPC is a core course offered to third year students of B.Tech Hons. ICT with Minor in Computational Science program.
