In relation to practical applications, studies thread-based distributed application development. Prerequisite: CSS 343; may not be repeated.

Class description

1. We will learn mathmatic tools that help us analyze algorithms.

2. We will learn how to predict the performance of algorithms (by applying the math tools).

3. We will learn/practice some fun technologies/algorithms: memory management, thread-based programming, 2d spatial searches, etc.
