Deree College Syllabus For: Itc4417 Game Programming : 3/1,5/3 DEREE COLLEGE SYLLABUS FOR: ITC4417 GAME PROGRAMMING : 3/1,5/3 (Updated Summer 2017) UK LEVEL 6 UK CREDITS: 15 PREREQUISITES: ITC1070 Information Technology Fundamentals – or – CS1070 Introduction to Information Systems ITC 2088 Introduction to Programming ITC 3234 Object Oriented Programming MA 1008 College Algebra CATALOG The conceptual framework of interactive environments. Game DESCRIPTION: programming approaches. Techniques and tools. Manipulation of visual effects and sound. Object animation. Movement control. Worlds. Interactivity. RATIONALE: The course exposes students to software development through the techniques used in one of the largest fields of computing. Control and interactivity of both 2D and 3D environments is discussed and analysed at various levels. Proficiency in the Java programming language is required. LEARNING OUTCOMES: As a result of taking this course, the student should be able to: 1. Compose object movement, animation and modification techniques 2. Develop interactive objects using a variety of techniques including geometry and artificial intelligence 3. Compose 2D or 3D dynamic worlds enhanced with special effects including sounds, and evaluate game performance in those worlds METHOD OF TEACHING AND In congruence with the teaching and learning strategy of the LEARNING: college, the following tools are used: Classroom lectures and occasional laboratory practical sessions. Office hours held by the instructor to provide further assistance to students. Use of the Blackboard Learning platform, where instructors post lecture notes, assignment instructions, timely announcements, as well as additional resources. ASSESSMENT: Summative : Project: Design and develop a complete but simple game or independent gaming components in a 100% programming platform Formative: In class analysis, synthesis and implementation 0 exercises The formative assessments aim to shape teaching along the semester and prepare studen ts for the summative assessment .

Gerber, PhD, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Examining Board: Michael Fleming, PhD, Faculty of Computer Science Weichang Du, PhD, Faculty of Computer Science Andy Simoneau, PhD, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering This thesis is accepted Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK September, 2016 c Mengru Wang, 2017 Abstract Recently, manycore and multicore based massively parallel processing architec- tures, led by GPUs and multicore CPUs, have become the powerful and cost- effective hardware trend in the high performance computing landscape. To in- corporate this processing power, various highly efficient parallel algorithms to exploit multilevel parallelism are being designed and developed. Among them, a novel combined space-time parallel approach that uses the parareal algorithm for time parallelization, demonstrates the possible multiplied speedup on top of that achieved with spatial parallelization. This approach is implemented in the EXN/Aero parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution, developed by Envenio inc. and UNB CFD lab. Notably, the parareal performance with respect to the speedup and convergence when applied into the combined approach, is fur- ther complicated with the effects from the parallel spatial solver which hinders effective analysis. As a complementary tool to traditional experimental performance analysis with respect to speedup and convergence, in this thesis we propose a visual analysis ii platform, called EXN/Vizer, to help better understand and gain valuable in- sights into the parareal performance in search for potential optimization strate- gies.

  • Differentiate and Deliver: Leveraging Your Partners (CEO Panel)
    DAC05, page 1 Differentiate and Deliver: Leveraging Your Partners (CEO Panel) Chair: Jay Vleeschhouwer - Merrill Lynch Speakers: Warren East - ARM Holdings, plc, Cambridge, UK Michael J. Fister - Cadence Design Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA Aart De Geus - Synopsys, Inc., Mountain View, CA Walden C. Rhines - Mentor Graphics Corp., Wilsonville, OR Jackson Hu - UMC Corp., Hsinchu, Taiwan Rick Cassidy - TSMC, San Jose, CA Abstract For the past 25 years, the EDA industry has played a major role in the growth of the semiconductor industry, providing tools and services that have helped companies develop electronics products that permeate and improve every aspect of our daily lives. As the semiconductor industry moves into the nanometer era, they face many key questions when envisioning a new product. When do they want the product to reach the market? How will that product be differentiated? Where do they develop and manufacture that product? Less than a decade ago, these questions would have been answered completely independent of whatever EDA vendor a semiconductor company selected. However, in the nanometer era, the answers to these questions can be significantly influenced not only by EDA companies but also by the IP and pure-play foundries that make up the infrastructure of the semiconductor industry. In order to compete in a global marketplace, these companies must align their individual core competencies with those of the semiconductor industry to help IC companies create products with the optimal combination of performance, price, and time-to-market. In this panel, the CEOs of the three major EDA vendors, along with peers from the IP and manufacturing areas discuss these fundamental changes to the semiconductor industry, and the challenges of working together to help customers successfully bring new products to market.
