BEST professor ever! Not only does he have a kind heart and a good life philosophy (you'll see throughout the class), but those aren't the main reasons I'm giving him a 5. The real reason is he brought amazing donuts to the final exam ;)Rate My Professors ↗

Dan is a great professor who knows a lot about parallel computing both on CPU and GPU. Lectures and homeworks are well designed; lots of room to explore parallel computing with the final project. I really liked that lecture recordings were made available as well. Great class/great professor/great guy.Rate My Professors ↗
