CS267
Applications of Parallel Computers
Spring 2000
- None... The class is long since over...
The spring 2000
edition of CS267 meets on Mondays and Wednesdays, 11-12.30
AM in 320 Soda.
The discussion section meets on Fridays, 11-12 AM in
405 Soda. David
Bailey and Robert
Lucas are teaching the course, assisted by Jason Riedy.
This course has its own
newsgroup, and hopefully I'll check it often. If I seem to
be forgetting, ping me. If anyone needs
to contact me immediately, my office phone number is
510-643-4205, and my home phone number is 510-841-4704. My
office is 531 Soda Hall.
The Friday discussion sections may be continued over lunch if
people are interested.
