CS 473 - Parallel Computing

Description:
Parallel computing is a type of computing architecture where several processors execute or process an application or computation simultaneously. We focus on major parallel architectures, software environments for parallel computing, parallel programming methodologies and applications. CS 473 and CS 573 are layered courses; students may not receive credit for both.

Prerequisites:
Prerequisite: CS 361 with a grade of C or higher.
