When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This course is targeted to scientists, engineers, scholars, or anyone seeking to solve problems efficiently in high-performance computing environments or in the cloud. Students completing this course will have a basic understanding of how to find bottlenecks in their programs as well as how to address those bottlenecks. The course will provide a high-level introduction to modern compute node architectures of high-performance and cloud computing instances.

This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics. Learn more about the MS-DS program at https://hua.dididi.sbs/degrees/master-of-science-data-science-boulder.

Memory performance is generally the main performance bottleneck since the speed of the main memory has not kept up with the capabilities of processors to process floating-point numbers. We introduce how layers of fast memory, called cache memory, can speed up computations and provide an example of how to optimize algorithms for better memory performance.
