Contents

The course will provide an overview of fundamental algorithms and an introduction to the analysis of algorithms. Topics will be:

  • Fundamentals: Models of Computation, Complexity Measures
  • Sorting: Bubble-Sort, Merge-Sort, Quick-Sort, Median-Algorithms, Lower Bounds, etc.: sorting in parallel
  • Searching: Hashing, Search Tress, etc.
  • Arithmetic Problems: parallel prefix computation, parallel matrix and vector operations
  • Foundations of parallel algorithms and simple models of parallel computation

Announcements

  • Change of time: Lecture was moved from 9.00-10.30 to 9.30-11.00 (starting on Dec 20)
  • Exam: the final exam will be on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 (14.00-16.00)
