Learning outcomes
This course aims at providing theoretical and practical knowledge about programming and analysis of advanced computational architectures, with emphasis on multiprocessor and GPU platforms.
At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate the ability to apply the knowledge necessary to: identify techniques for parallel programming, also in a research context, through analysis of application efficiency and by considering functional and non-functional design constraints (correctness, performance, energy consumption); analyze performance and to perform code profiling, by identifying critical zone and the corresponding optimizations by considering the architectural characteristics of the platform; demonstrate ability to compare parallel patterns and to select the best one by considering the use case. By defining the structure of the optimized code, the student will have to demonstrate the ability to identify the proper architectural choices, by considering the target application and platform contexts. Finally, the student will have to demonstrate the ability to be able to continue the study autonomously in the field of the parallel programming languages and of the Software development for parallel embedded platforms.

Examination Methods
The exam consists of a project agreed upon with the teacher after request by email and appointment for the elaboration of the specifications (the project is valid throughout the academic year). The projects have different levels of difficulty. Every difficulty corresponds to a maximum evaluation value. Students will hold an interview to comment the project
Attendees at the course will be able to expose to the class their project, the research context in which the project is located, and the state of progress of the course.
Voting for the project (project_mark) is expressed in thirty.
The final vote is calculated as min(31, (project_mark + Bias)).
Bias is expressed in the interval [-4, + 4] and reflects the maturation and scientific autonomy acquired during the development of the project, in the exposure and in the interpretation of the scientific literature and the scientific context of the project.

Tutorato per gli studenti
I docenti dei singoli Corsi di Studio erogano un servizio di tutorato volto a orientare e assistere gli studenti del triennio, in particolare le matricole, per renderli partecipi dell’intero processo formativo, con l’obiettivo di prevenire la dispersione e il ritardo negli studi, oltre che promuovere una proficua partecipazione attiva alla vita universitaria in tutte le sue forme.TUTORATO PER GLI STUDENTI DELL’AREA DI SCIENZE E INGEGNERIA
Tutorato finalizzato a offrire loro un’attività di orientamento che possa essere di supporto per gli aspetti organizzativi e amministrativi della vita universitaria.
Le tutor attualemente di riferimento sono:
- Dott.ssa Luana Uda, luana.uda@univr.it
- Dott.ssa Roberta RIgaglia, roberta.rigaglia@univr.it

Tirocini e stage
Le attività di stage sono finalizzate a far acquisire allo studente una conoscenza diretta in settori di particolare attività per l’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro e per l’acquisizione di abilità specifiche di interesse professionale.Le attività di stage sono svolte sotto la diretta responsabilità di un singolo docente presso studi professionali, enti della pubblica amministrazione, aziende accreditate dall’Ateneo veronese.
I crediti maturati in seguito ad attività di stage saranno attribuiti secondo quanto disposto nel dettaglio dal “Regolamento d’Ateneo per il riconoscimento dei crediti maturati negli stage universitari” vigente.
Tutte le informazioni in merito agli stage sono reperibili al link https://www.univr.it/it/i-nostri-servizi/stage-e-tirocini.
