This graduate research course is aimed at Ph.D. students in Area II.{}
M.Eng\@. students who plan to write their Master's thesis on the topic
of parallel systems may also wish to participate.  This class cannot
be used to satisfy the TQE requirements for the Ph.D. program.

\vspace{1ex}

This class covers theoretical foundations of general-purpose parallel
computing systems, from languages to architecture.  We will focus on
the algorithmic underpinnings of parallel systems.  The topics for the
class will vary depending on student interest, but will likely include
multithreading, synchronization, race detection, load balancing,
memory consistency, routing networks, message-routing algorithms, and
VLSI layout theory.  The class will emphasize randomized algorithms
and probabilistic analysis, including high-probability arguments.

\vspace{1ex}

The focus of the class is the term project, which can be done
individually or in groups of two and will account for 70 percent of
the grade.  Students are encouraged to advance their own research
interests in their project.  The hope is that many of these term
projects will lead to theses or publishable papers.  In addition,
there will be several problem sets and programming labs.
