Jedes Modul umfasst 3 ECTS. Sie wählen insgesamt 10 Module/30 ECTS in den folgenden Modulkategorien:
- 12-15 ECTS in Technisch-wissenschaftlichen Modulen (TSM)
TSM-Module vermitteln Ihnen profilspezifische Fachkompetenz und ergänzen die dezentralen Vertiefungsmodule. - 9-12 ECTS in Erweiterten theoretischen Grundlagen (FTP)
FTP-Module behandeln theoretische Grundlagen wie die höhere Mathematik, Physik, Informationstheorie, Chemie usw. Sie erweitern Ihre abstrakte, wissenschaftliche Tiefe und tragen dazu bei, den für die Innovation wichtigen Bogen zwischen Abstraktion und Anwendung spannen zu können. - 6-9 ECTS in Kontextmodulen (CM)
CM-Module vermitteln Ihnen Zusatzkompetenzen aus Bereichen wie Technologiemanagement, Betriebswirtschaft, Kommunikation, Projektmanagement, Patentrecht, Vertragsrecht usw.

The objective of this module is to provide the student with an introduction to parallel computing and algorithms. Students learn to parallelize systems at three different levels: Shared memory systems, distributed memory systems, and heterogeneous shared memory systems. For all three systems, which can be part of a high-performance cluster, students learn the necessary parallelization techniques and a few classical parallel algorithms.
This course includes hands-on work to train students in the application of parallel programming techniques and the programming and analysis of parallel algorithms.
Eintrittskompetenzen
- Procedural programming (C/C++ knowledge is helpful
- Algorithms and data structures
- Basic notion of complexity analysis and big-O notation
- Basic notions of concurrent programming (Threads)
Lernziele
By the end of the course, students will know:
- the most common heterogeneous parallel hardware infrastructures
- different ways to model and efficiently program these architectures
- how to assess the performance of parallel algorithms
- how to efficiently implement parallel algorithms
- how to choose the right parallel algorithm to solve a specific problem on a specific parallel architecture
