Sections: 14323
Topic: Quantum Programming

Instructor: Sam Tobin-Hochstadt (samth)
Sections: 26996
Supplementary Description: This course is a graduate seminar on metaprogramming---programs that manipulate other programs. Primarily, we will focus on reading papers, both historical and modern, that treat a broad range of metaprogramming topics, from C++ templates to Scheme macros to Scala DSLs. Students will be expected to present research papers to the class, write programs with a variety of languages and systems, and perhaps complete a semester project. This course requires permission from the instructor to enroll.

Topic: Domain Spec Lang & Compilers
Supplementary Description: This is a seminar course focused on parallelism (1) in functional languages and (2) in domain-specific languages (DSLs) based on functional abstractions. We review data-parallel DSLs that focus on stream processing on parallel container datatypes. We also survey the state of parallelism in general-purpose functional language implementations (Clojure, F#, Scala, Haskell, Manticore, etc).

Topic: Vectorized Code Generation for High-Level Data-Parallelism
Supplementary Description: Covers techniques for generating low-level vectorized code for CPUs and GPUs from high-level data-parallel programs with map/reduce-style operators. The course will be half paper reading and half compiler writing. Assignments will walk each student through building a new code-generation backend for a high-level language that we will provide. (A choice of OpenCL or Cilk/ICC compilation targets is provided.) P423/523 is a prerequisite, or permission of the instructor.

Topic: Domain-Specific Languages and Compilers: Performance meets Productivity
Supplementary Description: This course focuses on domain-specific models of computation that sidestep the trade-off between high-level and high-performance found in general purpose programming languages. Course readings will draw from the primary literature and span several domains, including stream processing, stencil computations, and graphics. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between language design and implementation opportunities. Hands-on labs will involve programming in and evaluating specialized languages.
