Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course discusses program optimisations in the context of parallel programming realized by programmers, tools, or compilers, performed either statically or dynamically at runtime. The basic techniques for translating source languages to target languages will be presented and tools will be used to assist in this process. The aim of the course is that students are able to reason about programs and apply optimisation strategies to get efficient code and are familiar with the basics of program transformations.

Topics: transformation phases, program representations, dependence analysis, code transformations (optimisations), vectorization, parallelization

Method: The course consists of a lecture and programming assignments.

Assessment and permitted materials

The grading is based on the assignments and an exam at the end of the semester.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

A minimum grade of 50% must be earned in both assignments and exam and in total 50% to pass the course. Examination and assignments are equally weighted. The grading scale for the course is: 4 at least 50%, 3 at least 63%, 2 at least 75%, 1 at least 87%.
