This course is proposed for M.Tech.(CS/AI/IT), IM.Tech and MCA-V students. By the end of the semester, students should be able to develop the following skills: Should be able to understand parallel algorithm paradigms and design efficient parallel algorithms. Given a practical application, identify the related issues and should be able to write algorithms for the target machine. Develop skill to learn how to write parallel library. More specific objectives will also be given later for each lecture.
