Long Description

The High Performance Computing course on Udacity covers a range of topics related to advanced computing techniques. The course begins with an introduction to the Work-Span or Dynamic Multithreading Model, followed by an overview of the basic algorithmic model. Students will also learn about the practical programming model OpenMP and comparison-based sorting algorithms. The course then delves into scans and linked list algorithms, tree algorithms, and graph algorithms such as breadth-first search. The second part of the course focuses on Distributed Memory or Network Models, including an introduction to the Message Passing Interface programming model and reasoning about network topology effects. Students will also explore dense linear algebra, sorting, sparse graph algorithms, and graph partitioning. The final part of the course covers Two-Level Memory or I/O Models, including basic models, efficiency metrics such as energy and power, I/O-aware algorithms, and cache-oblivious algorithms.
