• CS 5850: Parallel Programming/Architect

  3.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  In parallel programming you will learn how to utilize multiple CPU's/Cores/Nodes in parallel to increase the performance of your applications. Different architectures will be discussed along with the advantages and disadvantages of each. This course will cover key topics parallel programming including: memory models, parallel programming architectures, Flynn's Taxonomy, synchronization, and performance analysis and tuning. In addition to learning the theoretical background of parallel programming, you will work on hands-on projects using multiple parallel programming languages and libraries including (CUDA, openMP, MPI, open CL, and python).

• CS 6000: Fundamentals of Grad Studies

  1.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  The purpose of this course is to introduce students in the graduate programs in the College of Engineering, Applied Science, and Technology to the expectations of graduate study and the scholarly requirement options for their program. Students will learn the difference between a research thesis and a design project as well as how to select, narrow, and refocus a research topic. Students will explore academic electronic databases and Internet search engines, thus developing skills that allow them to critically evaluate published scholarly work. They will also be introduced to research methods and design and will develop skills in organization, effective editing, reviewing, and proofreading. This course should be taken within the first year of study to establish a program of study and support future work on a thesis or project.
