Week 2 Jan 31, Feb 2    


Topics: Lab/Hw Reading
  • Tuesday
  • Newsletter
  • The format should be similar to the ACM Tech News format.
  • The header should contain a title, your name, the class (CSC352) and the date
  • Each paragraph should have a header with a title, the source of news, the date, and possibly a link to the full article.
  • The paragraph describing a news item should be between 3 to 10 lines, give or take.
  • Write 1 full page to 2 pages, depending on the richness of events in the technology field
  • Feel free to present N-1 topics with just 3 lines, and 1 topic which you highlight with a longer paragraph.
  • Topics: anything related to parallelism: computers, mobile platforms, cloud, companies, new software, new algorithms, conferences, people in the field, etc.
  • Good sources of information to get started:
  • Recommendation for news aggregator: Feedly.com
  • Introduction to Latex
  • Thursday



 

Week 3 Feb 7, 9    


Topics: Lab/Hw Reading
  • Tuesday
  • Thursday
  • Paper Presentation: Berkeley
  • Newsletter due


 

Week 4 Feb 14, 16

Week 5 Feb 21    


Topics: Lab/Hw Reading
  • Tuesday
  • Thursday: Rally Day
  • Newsletter due on Moodle, at 1:00 p.m., just before Rally Day events.
  • Requirements for newsletter: Add an image or figure to your newsletter. It could be a photo of you at the top, as the author, or a graph, or a logo. You pick the jpeg or png, and incorporate it in your newsletter.


 

Week 6 Feb 28, Mar 2    


Topics: Lab/Hw Reading
  • Tuesday
  • Thursday
  • Paper Presentation: Unreasonable (Lujun), and Top500

Week 7 Mar 7, 9    


Topics: Lab/Hw Reading
  • Tuesday


  • Thursday
  • A word about the final project
  • Paper Presentation: Success of MPI (Zainab), and General purpose vs GPU
  • Newsletter due. This week, add a sentence to each summary that explains why you picked this news item. Why does the news you reported matters? How is it important to you? Does it connect in any way to something you have read or programmed? Also, this week, add an a section to your newsletter that refers to Amdahl's law. The purpose of this is to have you create an equation with Latex. So, you can simply explain what Amdahl's law is, or you can find a bit of news in the past year that mentions Amdahl's Law, and take this opportunity to create an equation: Speedup = T(1)/T(N).
  • Prepare a 1-page description of the project you will present at the end of the semester. Submit it before March 21, 1:00 p.m. to Moodle. See this page for information.
