Programming systems with parallel architectures can be a challenge for computer scientists, who must develop their ability to evaluate and analyze the performance of systems incorporating this technique. To do so, we must delve into the requirements of parallel computing systems, such as coherence in systems with shared memory, the cost of communication between processes or the topologies of interconnection between processors, with their advantages and disadvantages. 

This Postgraduate certificate explores all these issues and expands on them in detail with simulated case studies and a myriad of high-quality audiovisual resources created by the teaching team itself. Precisely this team has been selected by TECH for its extensive experience in the management and creation of complex parallel architectures, which brings practical value to all the topics covered, as they have been focused on the current reality of the most modern IT projects. 

In addition, to make it as easy as possible to combine this degree with other personal responsibilities, TECH has promoted a 100% online format, in which the student does not have to attend classes or follow any kind of schedule. All the contents and didactic material are available from the beginning of the degree, and can be downloaded in full from any device with an internet connection. In this way, it is the student themselves who distributes the teaching load, without pressure or ties. 

You make the important decisions at TECH, choosing where, when and how to take on the entire teaching load according to your own interests"

This Postgraduate certificate in Parallel Architectures in Computing is the most comprehensive and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features include:  

  • The development of case studies presented by experts in Parallel and Distributed Computing
