General
Welcome to Programming Parallel Computers, spring 2019 edition! This is a practical hands-on course on algorithm engineering for modern parallel computers. You will learn how to design programs that make the best possible use of the computing power of multicore CPUs and GPUs.
All practical information on the course is available at http://ppc.cs.aalto.fi/2019/ and the course material is available at http://ppc.cs.aalto.fi/.
Our first lecture is on Monday, 15 April, at 10am, in hall AS2 (TUAS building, note the new lecture hall!).
