Supervised projects allow students to earn 4 ECTS credits in semester 1 and 5 ECTS credits in semester 2.
Students work in small groups. The goal is to implement one or more algorithms used to model a phenomenon (face recognition, shortest path search, fluid flow, etc.). Particular importance will be given to the theoretical and practical study of the complexity of the algorithms implemented, as well as to understanding the modeled phenomenon.
The next steps are:
- Proposing a parallelization of the digital algorithms studied
- Programming on a parallel machine
- Studying performance
