Course Objectives and Outcomes: Practical hands on is the absolute necessity as far as
employability of the learner is concerned. The presented course is solely intended to enhance
the competency by undertaking the laboratory assignments of the core courses.
Instructions to Students:
Compare performance of each parallel program with sequential algorithm. [also considering
different types of array sizes].

1 Implement a parallel program to calculate the sum of elements in a large array. Use
OpenMP directives to parallelize the computation across multiple threads. Measure the
execution time of the parallel program for different numbers of threads and compare it with
the sequential version. Analyze and discuss the performance results, including speedup,
efficiency, and scalability.
2 Implement parallel algorithms using OpenMP to perform matrix multiplication. Divide the
matrices into equal-sized blocks and assign each block to a different thread for computation.
Compare the performance of the parallel algorithm with the sequential matrix multiplication
algorithm. Investigate load balancing strategies and synchronization techniques to optimize
the parallel matrix multiplication.
3 Select a parallel sorting algorithm (e.g., quicksort, mergesort) and analyze its performance
using analytical models. Consider factors such as input size, number of processors (threads),
and communication overhead. Predict the execution time and scalability of the algorithm
using the analytical model. Compare the predictions with experimental results obtained from
running the algorithm on OpenMP and discuss the similarities and differences.
4(A)Write a CUDA program for very large matrix multiplication
(B)Write a CUDA program for dot product using synchronization technique.

IOEUA40203: COURSERA CERTIFICATION
Teaching Scheme Examination Scheme

Credits : 4 Total: 100

The institute has partnered with Coursera to offer different tracks of courses, each catering to different
skill sets, aimed at enhancing students' abilities and making them eligible for placement opportunities.
Certification is awarded upon completion of these courses. Furthermore, academic credits are granted
based on the completion of an entire track, allowing students to progress academically while preparing
for their future careers. This initiative not only boosts students' employability but also integrates their
learning achievements into their formal education.

CSUA40206: Major Project

Teaching Scheme Examination Scheme

Credits : 10 Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE): 100
Practical : 20hrs/week PR/OR: 50 Marks
Course Objectives :
 To apply SDLC and meet the objectives of proposed development or research
work
 To test rigorously before deployment of work in objective 1
 To validate the work undertaken during objective 1 and 2
 To consolidate the development or research work as project report.

Course Outcomes :
After completion of the course, student will be able to
1. Produce evidence of independent investigation
2. Analyze the results and their interpretation intensively and critically.
3. Report and present the original results in an orderly way and placing the open
questions in the right perspective.
4. Link techniques and results from literature as well as actual research and future
research lines with the research.
5. Appreciate practical implications and constraints of the specialist subject

Guidelines
The student shall complete the work of the Project which will consist of problem statement,
literature review, SRS, Model and Design, Selection of Technology and Tools, Installations,
UML implementations, testing, Results, performance discussions using data tables per
parameter considered for the improvement with existing/known algorithms/systems and
comparative analysis and validation of results and conclusions. The candidate shall deliver a
presentation on the advancement in Technology pertaining to the selected project topic. The
examinee will be assessed by a panel of examiners of which one is necessarily an external
examiner. The assessment will be broadly based on work undergone, content delivery,
presentation skills, documentation, question-answers and report. The student shall prepare
and submit the report of Project work in standard format for satisfactory completion of the
work that is the duly certified by the concerned guide and head of the Department/Institute.
