  • CSE 262 is a course in high end computing, and will explore the latest trends such as: General-Purpose computation on GPUs, language and run time support issues, and data-centric applications.

    The course grade will be based on in-class presentations, paper summaries, and a project. Available resources include the STI Cell Broadband Engine, and various high end systems located at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, including IBM’s Blue Gene/L, enabling students to experience first hand what it takes to scale to thousands of processors.

    Required Background. You should be familiar with the principles and practice of parallel computation, which may be met by having taken CSE 260, CSE 160, or another course in parallel computation, or having the equivalent experience. Some of the topics will involve numerical algorithms, but the material will be self contained. Students are welcome from Departments outside Computer Science and Engineering. If you have a favorite project you'd like to work with, let me know.
