The first of a multi-part series on designing parallel algorithms by Ian Foster is up at Dr. Dobb’s. The articles are based on Foster’s well-known text, Designing and Building Parallel Programs: ...

Algorithm design isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible either. People who design algorithms don’t sit around looking for problems to solve, they are usually already involved in projects when a problem ...

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming and optimizations for 1000+ core GPU processors, their architecture, the CUDA programming model, and performance analysis. Students implement various ...

This course focuses on developing and optimizing applications software on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). Such processing units routinely come with hundreds to thousands of cores ...

Dealing with a problem here that probably has a clever solution which is not coming to me: I have an m x n grid. This grid contains some circles. I would like to find a set of squares that covers the ...
