System Programming听COM 392 (Formerly COM 451.1 鈥� Parallel & Distributed Programming)

As CPU speeds began to exceed 3.5 GHz, further CPU speed increases started to reach a limit. As a result, computer manufacturers began building machines with multiple CPUs.听Techniques for programming these multi-core machines were听soon developed. In this same time frame, graphical processing听units (GPUs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and听other types of heterogeneous computing technologies and听integrated circuits also emerged. Heterogeneous computing听provides efficient ways of addressing specific types of听computing needs. Today, most modern computing and
especially server-side or cloud computing is distributed across听heterogeneous computing machines. The modern software engineer who is interested in fast and efficient [cloud-based] computing must appreciate when and how to use such听technologies. This course provides an introduction and
grounding on these topics with a special focus on:
