Summer 2008, Dr. Ken Hoganson

Lecture time 5:00-7:45 PM, M/W, Clendenning CS Building, Room 3028
All lectures are live online, and recorded at: Lectures

This web site under construction!!

A study of High-Performance computing architectures, programming techniques, theoretical and practical parallel speedup alternative mechanisms and limitations. Will include a brief introduction to Quantum Computing principles and projected applications.

Professor Planned Conference Travel:

  • Distance Learning Conference: June 10-14
  • Computing Multiconference: July 14-17

This course will be taught as a hybrid-course - where some class meeting times will be used for project work and three previously recorded lectures will be viewed, a simulation system will be utilized, and a programming project using Java threads will be the final exam project.
