CS 51501 - Parallelism In Numerical Linear Algebra


Credit Hours: 3.00.  This course examines both theoretical and practical aspects of numerical algorithm design and implementation on parallel computing platforms. In particular, it provides an understanding of the tradeoff between arithmetic complexity and management of hierarchical memory structures, roundoff characteristics if different from the sequential schemes, and performance evaluation and enhancement. Applications are derived from a variety of computational science and engineering areas.
Learning Outcomes
1. Become quite knowledgeable in handling these parallel numerical linear algebra algorithms that arise in computational science and engineering. 2. Acquire problem-solving skills in this field. 3. Communicate their solution strategies and the performance realized on parallel computing platforms.
