Expected Outcomes

The course aims at introducing to the basic concepts of Parallel Processing and Parallel Algorithms. Basic immutable principles are considered and architectures of shared and distributed memory are presented as well as cache memory architectures. Particular emphasis is given on programming techniques and parallel algorithms. Besides the theoretical part, students will become familiar with the libraries MPI and OpenMP in the laboratory.
