- What in this course was particularly good?
Very relevant to our education. Clear instruction. Good labinstructions. Project. Good introduction to the field of parallel computers. The labs. The assignments. That the teacher was available to help during the labs. Practically appliable.
- What are the most important concrete things that should change in the course?
Some introduction to computer architecture is needed. Would like to learn how to do programming of OpenMP in a more practical way. Better teaching about performance models. More easy examples so one can get going with the programming.
