The course will have both self-study and participatory components. We will assign a meet weekly to study different heterogeneous processor and their software environments. In many cases, real hardware is available for experimentation as wellpapers to enrolled students on the first day of class (August 23, 2012). In the first half of the semester, each student will be expected to read their assigned paper, and develop algorithms to extend the results in the paper. In the second half of the semester (starting November 1, 2012), each student will be expected to give a 1-hour presentation summarizing the paper that they read and their ideas on extending the results in the paper. At the end of the semester, each student will be expected to submit a report describing these concepts in more detail. An actual implementation of the new ideas is not required for the report, but hand-coded performance studies are encouraged to justify the proposed approach.
Recommended Prerequisite: COMP 515 or equivalent
