English

After completing this VU, students will be able to correctly measure, analyze and interpret the performance properties of a given program. They will be familiar with various optimization techniques, and will also understand the performance implications of common data structures and programming language design choices.

  • What is performance?
    • Functional and non-functional program parameters
    • Latency vs. throughput
  • Measuring performance
    • Profiling
    • Performance models
  • Optimization
    • Algorithmic optimization
    • Procedural optimization
    • Hardware-specific optimization
  • Data structures for performance-oriented software
  • Programming languages and their performance implications
  • Performance debugging

Assessment will be based on the completion of exercises, the presentation of results, and a final test.

Allocation of places in courses with a limited number of participants (PS, SE, VU, PJ)

In courses with a limited number of participants, course places are allocated as follows:

1. Students for whom the study duration would be extended due to the postponement are to be given priority.

2. If the criteria in no. 1 do not suffice, first, students for whom this course is part of a compulsory module are to be given priority, and second, students for whom this course is part of an elective module.

3. If the criteria in no. 1 and 2 do not suffice, the available places are drawn by random.
