Modern CPUs provide SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) vector instructions which simultaneously apply the same operation to multiple elements. Peak performance of single cores can often only be reached if vector instructions are used. Vector instructions are automatically generated by compilers, but this approach has its limits. To fully exploit the SIMD capabilities, vector instructions can directly be used in the C programming language through "intrinsics". The lecture explains how vector intrinsics available for the Intel vector extensions (SSE, AVX, AVX-512) can be used to parallelize C programs (lecture videos available online). This knowledge is applied to programming projects in the integrated exercises (done as homework and during the on-site meetings). In the exercises (on-site), the students present their programming projects. The same on-site meetings are also used to discuss the content of the lecture ("inverted classroom" format).
Die Vorlesung findet im Inverted Classroom Format statt. Videoaufzeichnungen der Vorlesung stehen auf der Webseite zur Verfügung. Es findet eine wöchentliche Inverted Classroom Veranstaltung inklusive Übungen in Präsenz statt.

Student information |
The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
