Abstract

Course Objective and Description: Using large-scale computing systems to solve data-intensive realworld problems has become indispensable for many scientific and engineering disciplines. This course provides a broad introduction to the fundamentals in cloud computing and storage, with a focus on system architecture, programming models, algorithmic design, and application development. Selected scientific applications will be used as case studies.

Intellectual Merit

This course will train graduate students on cloud computing environments and programming paradigms. Some course projects may end up with novel ideas and publications.

Broader Impacts

This course will train graduate students on cloud computing environments and programming paradigms.
