Chris Szalwinski is a Professor at the School of Information and Communications Technology at Seneca College.
Chris teaches C, C++, DirectX Game Programming, and Human Computer Interaction. He is currently developing an interest in programming for heterogeneous computers; that is, how to convert your desktop into a supercomputer. He is open to suggestions for research projects that students could complete under his direction as part of acquiring this programming skill, particularly applications that solve computing problems for industry, business, or academia.

New ICT Courses (Fall 2012)
- GPU610 Parallel Programming Fundamentals
- Modern GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) technology supports massively parallel computations, which complements the serial processing capabilities of CPU technology. This course teaches students how to parallelize serial code and how to program the GPU. Students learn to read, write, and debug simple heterogeneous programs. Students also study cases that have benefited from parallelization.
- Pre-requisite: OOP344
- DPS915 Introduction to Parallel Programming
- Modern GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) technology supports massively parallel computations, which complements the serial processing capabilities of CPU technology. This course teaches students how to parallelize serial code and how to program the GPU. Students learn to read, write, and debug simple heterogeneous programs. Students also study cases that have benefited from parallelization and develop a heterogeneous application for a client.
- Pre-requisite: BTP300
Applied Research (Potential - Winter 2013)
