As more multicore processors are created, the expected use in future computing has generated a demand in industry for technologists that can create advanced software that leverages parallelism to take advantage of the processing power available. This increased applicability of parallelism necessitates that undergraduate and master's degree curricula in computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering be updated accordingly.
The following courses (ranging from undergraduate to master's degree levels) at ASU Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering will give students better understanding, experience and sophistication in writing and debugging multi-threaded code:
CSE 101: Introduction to Computer Science and Engineering
CSE 420: Computer Architecture I
CSE 430: Operating Systems
CSE 445/598: Distributed Software Development
MAT 420: Scientific Computing
CSE 494/598 and ME 494/598: Introduction to Parallel Computing
CSE 531: Distributed and Multiprocessor Operating Systems
CSE 591: Low-Power Computing
