CSE 375-010/475-010 PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PARALLEL COMPUTING, MWF 10:10-11:00, Professor Roberto Palmieri
It's the era of data, and having knowledge on how to design and develop correct high performance algorithms and applications for computing data is a fundamental requirement for prospective successful software engineers and designers. CSE-375/475 focuses on that, covering both theoretical and practical aspects, providing students with the sufficient knowledge to implement and reason about parallel applications. A particular focus is given to concurrency, which often represents a barrier for many developers given its complexity in providing correct computation due to the presence of simultaneous accesses on shared data. In this regard, the course covers the traditional lock-based programming, and also state-of-the-art (software and hardware) solutions to code concurrent applications without expositing locks to programmer.

With the emergence of powerful smartphones, wearables, and affordable internet of things, much data can be collected about human interactions, traffics, urban dynamics, environment. All such data (sensor data, videos, texts) can be analyzed using deep learning techniques to infer human activities, smart cities infrastructure planning, smart health management or planning autonomous car driving. Deep learning algorithms have proven to be useful for analyzing such big data streams. This course covers some basics of mobile computing, deep learning algorithms followed by discussions of most recent research papers in relevant areas. Students are expected to give presentations of assigned research papers, write summaries of deep learning based approaches taken by researchers to address smart cities related problems. Students will work on a few homework assignments followed by a class project at the end of the semester. Requirements: Graduate students need to be good in C, python (and possibly Java programming) and have some computer system background.
