GPU computing supposed a major step forward, bringing high performance computing to commodity hardware. Feature-rich parallel languages like CUDA and OpenCL reduced the programming complexity. However, to fully take advantage of their computing power, specialized parallel algorithms are required. Moreover, the complex GPU memory hierarchy and highly threaded architecture makes programming a difficult task even for experienced programmers. Due to the novelty of GPU programming, common general purpose libraries are scarce and parallel versions of the algorithms are not always readily available.

In recent years, a growing number of organizations have been allocating vast amount of resources to construct and maintain databases and data warehouses. In scientific endeavours, data refers to carefully collected observations about some phenomenonunder study. In business, data capture information about economic trends, critical markets, competitors and customers. In manufacturing, data record machinery performances and production rates in different conditions. There are essentially two reasons why people gather increasing volumes of data: first, they think some valuable assets are implicitly coded within them, and computer technology enables effective data storage at reduced costs.

This course will focus on theoretical aspects of Statistical Learning and Sequential Prediction. Until recently, these two subjects have been treated separately within the learning community. The course will follow a unified approach to analyzing learning in both scenarios. To make this happen, we shall bring together ideas from probability and statistics, game theory, algorithms, and optimization. It is this blend of ideas that makes the subject interesting for us, and we hope to convey the excitement. We shall try to make the course as self-contained as possible, and pointers to additional readings will be provided whenever necessary. Our target audience is graduate students with a solid background in probability and linear algebra.

Procedural modeling, or the use of pseudo-random programs to generate visual content, plays an important role in computer graphics and design. It facilitates content creation at massive scales, can automatically create painstakingly-detailed imagery, and can even generate pleasantly surprising results that can help people to navigate large and unintuitive design spaces

Most of today’s cryptographic primitives are based on computations that are hard to perform for a potential attacker but easy to perform for somebody who is in possession of some secret information, the key, that opens a back door in these hard computations and allows them to be solved in a small amount of time. Each cryptographic primitive should be designed such that the cost of an attack grows exponentially with the problem size, while the computations using the secret key only grow polynomially. To estimate the strength of a cryptographic primitive it is important to know how hard it is to perform the computation without knowledge of the secret back door and to get an understanding of how much money or time the attacker has to spend. Usually a cryptographic primitive allows the cryptographer to choose parameters that make an attack harder at the cost of making the computations using the secret key harder as well. Therefore designing a cryptographic primitive imposes the dilemma of choosing the parameters strong enough to resist an attack up to a certain cost while choosing them small enough to allow usage of the primitive in the real world, e.g. on small computing devices like smart phones.

One of the most outstanding research topics in the field of bioinformatics is the reconstruction of evolutionary relationships among species. By studying the molecular features of living organisms, phylogenetic inference procedures seek to provide hypotheses about the evolutionary events which led to the current biodiversity in nature. The result of a phylogenetic analysis is given by a treeshaped data structure known as phylogenetic tree, whose topology describes the evolutionary history of the input species by defining ancestor-descendant relationships. The biological quality of the inferred phylogenies is usually evaluated by means of optimality criteria, which allow the modelling of phylogenetic inference as an optimization problem.

Our world is being revolutionized by data-driven methods: access to large amounts of data has generated new insights and opened exciting new opportunities in commerce, science, and computing applications. Processing the enormous quantities of data necessary for these advances requires large clusters, making distributed computing paradigms more crucial than ever. MapReduce is a programming model for expressing distributed computations on massive datasets and an execution framework for large-scale data processing on clusters of commodity servers.
