CS 475/575 Assignments
You will be evaluated on three kinds of "assignments," as described below. They will be posted here during the course of the semester as they are made available to the class.
Programming Assignments
These assignments count for 30% of your grade. You will do most of your learning through the programming assignments. There are six assignments, roughly one every couple of weeks. There will be no assignments in the week of the midterm and the last week of class.- PA1: First OpenMP Parallelization.
- PA2: Polynomial Product.
- PA3: Karatsuba
- PA4: Sieve
- PA5: CUDA first steps
- PA6: MPI
- Jacobi MPI: computation vs communication.
Labs/Discussions
These count for 5% of your grade, and requre about 2-3 hours of work. Labs serve two purposes. First, it is where you gather some (possibly preliminary) data, typically by doing some hands-on programming work. This provides input to the discussion. Second, labs are also the place where you can get hands-on help with programming assignments.- Lab 0: Managing C projects
- Lab 1: OpenMP, Mandelbrot: Measuring/Analyzing/Reporting Performance.
- Lab 2: OpenMP Tasks.
- Lab 3: Locality
- Lab 4: Getting Started with Intel Tools
- Lab 5: Introduction to GPU and CUDA: coalescing
- Lab 6
- Lab 7 Lab 7: Getting Started with MPI. (yes, we're doing this before L6)
- Lab 8: Using the faclon cluster
Project
- Details provided in Canvas.
