Learning outcomes

This course aims at providing theoretical and practical knowledge about programming and analysis of advanced computational architectures, with emphasis on multiprocessor and GPU platforms.
At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate the ability to apply the knowledge necessary to: identify techniques for parallel programming, also in a research context, through analysis of application efficiency and by considering functional and non-functional design constraints (correctness, performance, energy consumption); analyze performance and to perform code profiling, by identifying critical zone and the corresponding optimizations by considering the architectural characteristics of the platform; demonstrate ability to compare parallel patterns and to select the best one by considering the use case. By defining the structure of the optimized code, the student will have to demonstrate the ability to identify the proper architectural choices, by considering the target application and platform contexts. Finally, the student will have to demonstrate the ability to be able to continue the study autonomously in the field of the parallel programming languages and of the Software development for parallel embedded platforms.

Examination Methods

The exam consists of a project agreed upon with the teacher after request by email and appointment for the elaboration of the specifications (the project is valid throughout the academic year). The projects have different levels of difficulty. Every difficulty corresponds to a maximum evaluation value. Students will hold an interview to comment the project

Attendees at the course will be able to expose to the class their project, the research context in which the project is located, and the state of progress of the course.

Voting for the project (project_mark) is expressed in thirty.

The final vote is calculated as min(31, (project_mark + Bias)).
Bias is expressed in the interval [-4, + 4] and reflects the maturation and scientific autonomy acquired during the development of the project, in the exposure and in the interpretation of the scientific literature and the scientific context of the project.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and soon also via the Univr app.

Graduation

Deadlines and administrative fulfilments

For deadlines, administrative fulfilments and notices on graduation sessions, please refer to the Graduation Sessions - Science and Engineering service.

Need to activate a thesis internship

For thesis-related internships, it is not always necessary to activate an internship through the Internship Office. For further information, please consult the dedicated document, which can be found in the 'Documents' section of the Internships and work orientation - Science e Engineering service.
