  \u200b\u200bMassage Passing Interface (MPI) is the essential communication protocol used in HPC systems to communicate data between tasks that do not share explicitly random-access memory addresses. It is used in many scientific applications that can efficiently be executed on modern HPCs.

Hence, it becomes unavoidable to use multiple cores and computers in parallel to accelerate a computation. We start this course with a tour of C++, as it is the go-to language for many high-performance framework and scientific applications. We then study the class of embarrassingly parallel algorithms, using the C++ standard library (std::threads) and the OpenMP specification language.

There will be an emphasis on group work and on collaboration between philosophers and computer scientists on a course project.<br>By the end of this course students should have acquired a basic grounding in philosophy and normative ethics, but also a detailed understanding of recent developments in A.I. technology. The aim will be to provide students with the conceptual tools to be comfortable working in an inter-disciplinary manner. Students will develop critical and communicative skills by engaging with literature and topics from both philosophy and computer science. The emphasis in this course will be on developing the ability to collaborate across disciplines so as to explore and provide possible solutions to philosophical and ethical problems that are generated by Artificial Intelligence.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Advances in computing technology, especially in Artificial Intelligence, raise the very real prospect of imminent, radical changes to everyday human life: e.g. in employment, healthcare, military conflicts, privacy, education, legal processes and institutions, etc. Trying to work out the ethical implications of these changes is surely one of the most pressing questions that humanity currently faces. AI and related technologies also raise profound philosophical questions concerning the nature of the mental, intelligence, rationality and knowledge.<br>In this course we will try to approach some of these ethical and philosophical questions from an inter-disciplinary perspective. The course will be taught by faculty members from both the Philosophy and Computer Science departments and is open to students studying either the Masters in Contemporary European Philosophy or the Masters in Information and Computer Science.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item

It transforms latent data patterns into visual patterns, in order to support sensemaking and data-driven decision-making. Students will learn the value of visualization, principles, and skills for designing, programming, and evaluating data visualizations and demonstrate these skills through hands-on activities. Students will also be exposed to data visualization research problem areas and methods. Topics include: tree visualization; network visualization; tabular\/multidimensional data visualization; text and document visualization; temporal visualization; maps and geospatial visualization; interaction techniques; and visualization evaluation. Students will also learn to implement Web-based data visualization pipelines using Javascript libraries on the frontend, such as D3.js and\/or echarts, combined as needed with a Python backend for data analytics, for example leveraging Pandas, scikit-learn and networkX.<br><\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n

  The lecture provides an entry point to large-scale data management and distributed computing principles in recent NoSQL architectures. We start with an overview of distributed file systems and MapReduce in Apache Hadoop and then move on to more advanced analytical tasks based on the machine-learning libraries in Apache Spark. The lecture serves as an ideal basis for further topics in this area (such as Master seminars, projects and theses).                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        &#8211; Students become familiar with the usage of recent Big Data platforms such as Apache Hadoop and Spark<br>&#8211; Student obtain an overview of both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of various Big Data and Machine Learning algorithms<br>&#8211; Students learn how to approach and solve different data-analysis tasks by a number of programming exercises with real-world datasets<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The course consists of a combination of theory-oriented lectures and practical exercises, through which the students are guided by a series of real-world use cases and hands-on examples.

principles and applications of the following formal methods: <br>* Alloy &#8211; a declarative modeling language based on first-order logic, for expressing complex structural constraints and behavior. The Alloy Analyzer is a constraint solver that provides fully automatic simulation and checking. The motivation for the Alloy project was to bring to Z-style specifications (Z being another formal language) the kind of automation offered by model checkers. <br>* Process Algebras &#8211; Process Algebra is a formal description technique for complex computer systems, especially those involving communicating, concurrently executing components. It is a subject that touches many topic areas of computer science and discrete math. <br>* Protocol Verification &#8211; a specification language based on process algebra extended with abstract data types is used to describe communicating systems. Interesting properties about the systems are expressed as temporal logic formulas. Model checking is employed as a method to formally verify whether the model defined by the system satisfies the properties. <br>We have chosen these methods because they are based on complementary approaches for formal reasoning about systems. The course is tool-oriented in the sense that automatic tool support will be an essential part of the teaching units whenever possible. In this sense the lecture provides a more hands-on approach to theoretical concepts compared to courses in the first semester. Many examples and real-life case studies drawn from a variety of domains such as computer security, communicative systems and software engineering will be presented                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Final exam: 70% <br>Assignments: 30%                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6a6a0b41a54a1\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                High Performance Computer Architecture                <span class=\"accordion__data\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">ECTS credits:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            5                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">Course code:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            F1_MA_HPC_2-2                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-6a6a0b41a54a1\" class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-module-6a6a0b41a5439\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__body p-0\">\n            <ul class=\"list-highlighted\">\n                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course title:<\/span> High Performance Computer Architecture<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Number of ECTS:<\/span> 5<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course code:<\/span> F1_MA_HPC_2-2<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Module(s):<\/span> 2.3 Computer Architectures <\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Language:<\/span> EN<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Mandatory:<\/span> Yes<\/li>\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n\n                <!--<li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">-->\n                <!--    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">-->\n                <!--        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>--><!--<\/strong><\/h5>-->\n                <!--    <\/header>-->\n                <!--    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">-->\n                <!--        <div class=\"speaker-group\">-->\n                <!--            -->                <!--        <\/div>-->\n                <!--    <\/div>-->\n                <!--<\/li>-->\n\n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Objectives<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\n                            Since ~2005, all new microprocessor development for high performance applications have been geared towards multicore and multiprocessor architectures because of the end of the possibility to scale single processor performance further.

Typically there will be a 1h talk by a student, followed by a 30min discussion. <br>Each student is expected to *attend and participate to each session*. <br>This includes taking a look at the material and sending in questions beforehand.<br>To prepare the talk, we offer personal tutoring sessions for each student. We plan for around 10 talks. <br>The themes will be distributed at the begin of the WS.

CRDTs are widely used to program highly-available services for cloud storage, mobile clients and applications for collaborative editing of a document.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul><br><li>Mid-term written exam (30%)<\/li><br><li>Final written exam (70%)<\/li><br><li>Final grade: max(F, (M*30 + F*70)\/100) where M is the grade of the<br>mid-term exam and F is the grade of the final exam.

Development and Operations) is a new cultural shift that has emerged as response to the need of ensuring high quality for a particular software system, while reducing the time since a new change is introduced into such a software system until it makes it into production. In this manner, organizations aimed at applying this cultural shift need to make use of advanced software development methods. In this course, particular attention will be given to continuous integration, automated deployment, and software delivery. These methods are chained one after the other, forming what is known as deployment pipeline. \u00a0Beside the software engineering aspects, DevOps also includes other two important dimensions: culture, and management. Culture corresponds to the required skills to be able to collaborate with other people in a professional manner, whereas management is related to the ability to find trade-offs and make decisions such that the expected outcomes are satisfy while respecting the imposed constraints. The three dimensions are equally important, so they are the focus of the course.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Rating:\u00a0<br><ul><br><li><br>Project deliverables: 50%<br><\/li><br><li><br>Homework: 50%<br><\/li><br><li><br>Final grade = if (Homework grade 8)<br><\/li><li><br>Then AVERAGE (Project deliverables, Homework)<br><\/li><br><li><br>Else Homework \/* this means failing to the course*\/<br><\/li><br><\/ul><br>\u00a0<br>Retake exam<br>The exam consists of an oral exam where the student will answer the questions asked by the teacher.<br>Questions will be related to everything the student has done all along the course: this includes, assignments, quizzes, project assess, and peer-reviewing.<br>The student must be able to show the results of his\/her mini-project.

In case of borderline answers, an extra oral session could be organised to determine whether the student passes or not the course.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Bibliography<br>\u00a0<br>Main reference<br><ul><br><li><br>Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Fowler)) Addison-Wesley Professional;

Throughout the course, we will learn how to produce audio content at a professional recording studio, located in Esch- sur- Alzette. Specifically, we will learn how to record podcasts by means of devices such as a mixing desk, microphones, headsets and a recording software. We&#8217;ll delve into how elements like voice, listening, imagination, emotions, empathy, time, and sound come together as essential components of effective storytelling. We will explore how to weave these elements into the podcast to create engaging and memorable stories, how to incorporate music and other audio content while recording, as well as in already recorded files. Additionally, we will look into post-production techniques \u2013 how to cut and edit audio files by using editing software.\u00a0 Finally, we will explore how the way we listen shapes the stories we tell. We&#8217;ll delve into how, as podcasters, we can persuade and captivate audiences using only our voices. By the end of the course, we will create and produce our own podcasts.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul><br><li>Class participation<br><\/li><br><li>Final podcast project, including a project description and a reflection on your podcast production experience <\/li><br><\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>This course focuses on gaining practical experience.
