Offered as CSC 352 and SDS 352. The primary objective of this course is to examine the state of the art and practice in parallel and distributed computing, and to expose students to the challenges of developing distributed applications. This course deals with the fundamental principles in building distributed applications using C and C++, and parallel extensions to these languages. Topics include process and synchronization, multithreading, Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and distributed objects. Prerequisites: CSC 210 and CSC 252. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only.

The field of high-performance computing (HPC) leverages the largest and most powerful computers on the planet to enable cutting edge scientific breakthroughs that help us understand fundamental research questions. These machines and programs push the limits of speed and scalability and require a practical understanding of the entire computing stack as well as familiarity with novel and emerging hardware platforms. In this course, students will learn and apply both the theoretical and practical aspects of the field.

Independent work in biochemistry can be conducted with any member of the biochemistry committee and, upon approval, also with other members of the biological sciences and chemistry departments and program in neuroscience and behavior.

In this class, students will acquire hands-on and/or applied experience in diverse aspects of the research process in any field of Chemistry under the direction and supervision of a faculty advisor. Typically, these projects are related to the research program of the advisor. Student experiences often include: familiarizing themselves with a research topic, generating interesting questions, designing experiments, acquiring technical and instrumentation skills, collecting and analyzing data, writing and/or presenting their results.

In this course we will learn about the history and foundation of Hip Hop culture from its birth to both the current underground and commercial scene. We will work on foundational techniques and dynamic movements to continue to develop the growth within each student. Documentaries shown in class will inform the students about the underground battle scene and its evolution to the big-stage events like the Olympics.
