选课：Parallel System or Cloud Computing Technology?

我这学期上了OS, Networks, Object-Oriented Development. 下学期我对下面这五门课比较有兴趣，但是考虑到自己的能力和时间，精力，我应该只会选三门。从有利于找工作就业的角度，请大家帮我看看我应该drop哪一门呢？
-Algorithms
Algorithm design techniques: use of data structures, divide and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy techniques, local and global search. Complexity and analysis of algorithms: asymptotic analysis, worst case and average case, recurrences, lower bounds, NP-completeness. Algorithms for classical problems including sorting, searching and graph problems [connectivity, shortest paths, minimum spanning trees].
听师兄说，这门课会比较侧重计算／证明，而不是侧重动手写算法。我也不清楚是否对刷题有帮助。


－Automated Learning and Data Analysis
Introduction to the problems and techniques for automated discovery of knowledge in databases. Topics include representation, evaluation, and formalization of knowledge for discovery; classification, prediction, clustering, and association methods.Selected applications in commerce, security, and bioinformatics.
这门课是data mining的入门课。load不算太重。

-Enterprise Storage Architecture
An introduction to storage systems architecture in an enterprise. Begins with a review of the individual components of a system [eg, hard disk drives, network interfaces], and shows how to aggregate those into storage systems. Tradeoffs involving factors such as cost, complexity, availability, power and performance. Discussion of information management strategies, including data migration. Guest lectures by representatives from local industry. Students work in teams on a semester-long project.
主要讲企业存储架构，性能什么的。据说这门课load不是很重。


-Cloud Computing Technology
Study of cloud computing principles, architectures, and actual implementations. Students will learn how to critically evaluate cloud solutions, how to construct and secure a private cloud computing environment based on open source solutions, and how to federate it with external clouds. Performance, security, cost, usability, and utility of cloud computing solutions will be studied both theoretically and in hands-on exercises. Hardware-, infrastructure-, platform-, software-, security-, and high-performance computing - "as-a-service".
系主任上的课，神课之一。据说load很重。


-Parallel System
Basic concepts of parallel computation; parallel programming models and algorithm design; load balancing and performance optimization; parallel I/0 and high-end storage systems; high performance parallel applications.

这门课和我本学期上的OS是同一位老师。主要讲并行系统架构什么的。load应该不会很轻，这老师的课程都不简单。


主要是下学期还要忙着刷题找工作，我对分布式系统还是比较感兴趣的，以后找工作方向也是分布式系统／云计算这些方向。从找工作就业的角度，请大家帮我参谋参谋吧！

既然想搞分布式，推荐选：算法+CC+并行计算

这确实是我非常非常想选的组合，但是因为下学期找实习可能会比较忙，有点担心这么选课，gpa会比较难看。by the way, 谢谢给我支招！
