342.295, Time: Tuesday, 8:30-11:00, Room: S3 057, Start: March 7, 2023
This course introduces basic techniques and models for parallel computing. We will discuss the basic theory, algorithms, programming models, and design principles for building parallel programs on multi-core processors, shared memory multiprocessors, and distributed memory multiprocessors respectively cluster systems. Class presentation will be accompanied by hands-on experience, e.g., on an SGI UV-1000 distributed shared memory multiprocessor.
Background in programming in C/C++ and Java is assumed. Course grades will be based on practical programming assignments.

As an extra service, we intend to live-stream and record the lectures via the following Zoom meeting. However, no guarantee is given with respect to completeness and quality of the stream/recordings. The basic course format is on-site, not hybrid.

We will hand out four assignments that have to be worked out individually. At least three assignments have to be turned in and graded positively to pass the course. Submitters may be asked for presentations of their solutions; be prepared to give at least one such presentation.
