CISC 727 Res Explorations Comp Sci I

This course is about leading the student to explore some heavy research on a certain high-dimensional problem under the supervision of a research scientist in one of the computational sciences subdomains. The course outcome is expected to be the foundational part of a published research paper to be presented (later after augmented with other research work) in a research symposium. Special emphases put on how to build programs using this approach that have the potential to perform and scale well on a variety of different previously studied parallel computing systems. Extensive use of parallel programming models like CUDA, C, Python, OpenMP and may be Fortran will be to conduct weekly projects.
