Graduate Program in High Performance Computing

Parallel computing has the goal of enhancing performance through the process of performing parts of a task concurrently. Achieving the performance gains projected for applications through parallelism offered by today's parallel systems mandates new paradigms for system software (operating systems, languages, compilers, and programming tools) and the redesign of applications software through the development and implementation of parallel algorithms. High performance computing is a growing area of research and graduate study in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Delaware.
