Instructor's Objectives

The course aims to dive deeper into the principles, techniques and solutions involved in designing modern parallel software systems. This is an advanced course for students who have already taken CMPT 431 before. This is a project based course, meaning that students are expected to work on a term project (with multiple intermediate deadlines), and course readings will mostly involve research papers. Background in software systems, databases and parallel computing is preferable.
