[Best Grad Schools for Distrbuted Computing]

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a very good one. Just review their graduate courses and you will find several specialized courses on parallel processing. You will also find a lot of research undergoing in systems. Also take into account that they have the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the birth place of Mosaic, the first web browser. So they have plenty of facilities to do this kind of research.

Yes, while MPI was created by William Gropp who is a full professor of UIUC, I think working as a student of him is honourable! Isn't it? :wink:

[Research Papers VS. GRE Subject]

Dear all,

:wink:

I am a Bsc student, I wrote three conference papers (as the first author) and a Journal one ( as the second one). I want to apply directly for PHD program, GTech University. GPA:3.7 and 3 strong letters of recommendation.

I don't want to attend subject GRE test. While GRE subject is recommended, what is your opinion about my application?

Thank you.
