About
The Parallel Distributed Systems Laboratory provides a computing environment which includes multiple workstations, PCs, and a cluster with multi-core machines. Its mission is to support teaching and research in all areas of parallel and distributed computing: advanced computer architectures, operating systems, parallel programming languages, applications, and high performance computing and networking activities in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver.
In line with advances in computer architecture, all modern computers—including laptops—are multi-core systems. While processor architectures have evolved rapidly, system software and programming models have not advanced at the same pace. AMD, Intel, and other vendors continue increasing core counts, creating strong demand for expertise in parallel and distributed systems, scalable software, and high-performance computing.
This lab is under the supervision of Dr. Gita Alaghband and Dr. Ilkyeun Ra.
