About the Course
With every smartphone and computer now boasting multiple processors, the use of functional ideas to facilitate parallel programming is
becoming increasingly widespread. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data
parallelism. In particular, you'll see how many familiar ideas from functional programming map perfectly to to the data parallel paradigm. We'll
start the nuts and bolts how to effectively parallelize familiar collections operations, and we'll build up to parallel collections, a production-ready
data parallel collections library available in the Scala standard library. Throughout, we'll apply these concepts through several...

The course is fairly advanced and you would need to review the materials many times to understand the concept. The assignments are definitely fun and not as straightforward as other courses.

Superb study material. Learnt a lot during this course. I am not much into mathematical stuff, but got a hang of how to break problems and improve efficiency through parallelism.
