- From laptops and mobile phones to global-scale infrastructures, parallel computing systems drive the world we live in. Only software explicitly dedicated to parallel architectures can fully exploit today's hardware potential and benefit from future gains in hardware performance. Only software engineers who are true experts in parallel computing systems can make an impact on future software.
- This track covers the entire range of parallel computing systems, from laptops to compute servers, GPU accelerators, heterogeneous systems, and large-scale, high-performance computing infrastructures. Students will carry out practical work that uses a unique, world-class infrastructure, the Distributed ASCI Supercomputer (DAS). Students will also benefit from the local SURFsara supercomputing center and the Netherlands eScience Center, both involved in numerous real-world applications.
- This track is part of the joint Master’s in Computer Science, in which leading research groups in the areas of parallel systems architecture, programming parallel systems, and performance optimization team up to educate the future experts of the many-core age.
