ماجستير في أنظمة الكمبيوتر عالية الأداء

Compulsory courses year 1

During the first semester the programme starts with three compulsory courses that form a common foundation in High-performance computer systems.

• Computer architecture
• High-performance parallel programming
• Sustainable computing

Computer architecture

Computer architecture is the engineering discipline on computer design, which conveys principles for how to convert the raw speed of transistors into application software performance through computational structures that exploit the parallelism in software. This course covers the important principles for how to design a computer that offers high performance to the application software.

High-performance parallel programming

In this course, the students will not only learn the parallel programming paradigms, languages, and development environments for High-performance computer systems (e.g. OpenMP, MPI, CUDA,) but also be exposed to performance problem-solving techniques and methodologies as to improve the execution time of parallel programs and exploit the full potential of the underlying parallel systems.

Sustainable computing

The aim of the course is to make students aware of the importance of sustainability in computing and to show techniques to achieve it at the different levels of a computer system. The course gives an overview of the energy efficiency aspects of computer systems and computing, ranging from the electronic circuits up to the applications for systems ranging from small IoT devices to large data centres. For instance, students will learn about approaches to measuring and estimating the energy consumption of different architectural components as well as architecture and software techniques to save energy in the system.

Compulsory courses year 2

In the second year you must complete a master's thesis in order to graduate. The thesis may be worth 30 credits or 60 credits depending on your choice.

• Technical writing
• Master's thesis

Technical Writing

This course aims to develop the student's awareness of the underlying structure of scientific and engineering research papers and to improve proficiency in reviewing and writing scientific research papers as well as presenting such papers in public. Ethical issues in connection with scientific writing, e.g. plagiarism and authorship, is an important part of the course.

Master's Thesis

Students may perform their thesis work in an industrial context or within a research group at Chalmers. Students who want to write a research-oriented thesis may apply for an additional 15 credit research project or extend their research thesis work to 60 credits.

تم تصميم برنامج الماجستير في أنظمة الكمبيوتر عالية الأداء ليكون ذا صلة بقطاع تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات الصناعي والحكومي المتنامي (مثل صناعة ألعاب الكمبيوتر وأنظمة قواعد البيانات، والأكثر صلة، جميع تطبيقات التعلم الآلي مثل المركبات المستقلة). يمنح البرنامج فرصة فريدة للجمع بين التدريب الأكاديمي وخبرة العمل الهندسي، بالإضافة إلى مهارات ريادة الأعمال. وبذلك يكون الطالب مستعدًا ليصبح:

• المؤسس المشارك و/أو كبير المهندسين المعماريين و/أو مالك المنتج لمنتج أو شركة ناشئة تقدم فكرة بحثية إلى منتج
• الرئيس التنفيذي للتكنولوجيا الذي يتولى مسؤولية خطة التطوير التكنولوجي للشركة ويؤثر على قدرتها التنافسية في السوق
• Systems Architect and Designer who builds HPC systems either as a new product or from available COTS
• يقوم مهندس HPC ومهندس الأداء الذي يبني أنظمة HPC بتقييم الأداء وضبط التطبيقات لهذه الأنظمة.
• Systems Administrator who manages an HPC system as well as monitors and evaluates application performance
• Project Manager responsible for driving specific projects by choosing technical directions and leading people
• Software Engineer who develops hardware-aware optimized software for either Cloud Function as a Service (FaaS) software, libraries, or runtimes.
