| Objectives |
Students are able to write programs for concurrent systems (multi-core processors and multi-processor architectures) using various widely used high-level (application-oriented) parallel programming paradigms. They understand and are able to overcome basic problems of concurrency such as data races and performance bottlenecks in order to write correct and scalable programs that are able to effectively utilize the resources of modern high-performance computing systems. Furthermore, students are able to experimentally evaluate the performance of their programs in a systematic way.
