Tutors: Jan Fuhrmann, Benny Kneissl

Teilgebiet: Special lecture in Bioinformatics (Master in Bioinformatics)

Requirements: C++-programming, valid login on computers in CIP pool

Requirements for participating in the examination:

50% of the points of all exercises

Condition for certification:

50% of the points in the final examination.

Overview:
The main focus is algorithms in Bioinformatics and the possible parallel implementation thereof. Three different approaches to parallel computing will be presented and used both in hand-on exercises and assignments.

Goal:
A basic understanding of the problems of parallelizing algorithms and to enable students to use parallel programming in follow-up courses.
