Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:02:41
Abstract
This course is on programming for parallel computers.At a low levels, memory, vectors/pipelining, branchprediction, and independent functional units are studied.The next level is on shared memory machines using OpenMP.At the highest level on multiple independent processors,networks and MPI programming are studied. Numericalexamples: FFT, linear algebra, and Monte-Carlo are studied.
