DNA is supposed to rescue us from a computing rut. With advances using silicon petering out, DNA-based computers hold the promise of massive parallel computing architectures that are impossible today.

This course focuses on developing and optimizing applications software on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). Such processing units routinely come with hundreds to thousands of cores ...

In 1994, MIT professor of applied mathematics Peter Shor developed a groundbreaking quantum computing algorithm capable of factoring numbers (that is, finding the prime numbers for any integer N) ...
