Semester Elective Project
Ideas
Below are some ideas for the semester-long elective project.
- Work with a faculty member (try math or chemistry!) to develop a new parallel code or parallelize an existing serial code.
- Parallelize an existing serial code from another source.
- Nanopond - A very tiny artificial life VM
- Perform a performance analysis and optimize an existing parallel code.
- n-body solver (IPP 6.1, see also Dr. Sochacki)
- Traveling salesperson (IPP 6.2)
- Neuron simulation (see Dr. Sochacki)
- NAS parallel benchmark
- ASC Sequoia benchmark
- Compare and analyize at least three existing algorithms or approaches
to solving a parallel problem.
- Parallel sorting algorithms
