CS 395T Course Outline

This course shall dwell on algorithms, and implementation of high performance and parallel graphics and visualization techniques.

The class will be split into two groups, each of which will work on one of the following projects:

• Human Body
• Molecular World

Recommended Reading List

Grading

You will be graded on the successful completion of your project. There will be two reports due:

• a mid-semester report on your status
• and a final report summarizing results obtained and lessons learned

include full documentation of your programming project
