Learning outcomes
Introductory course in parallel programming is based on classification and description of paralell systems and their basic principles. The course is focused on SMP systems with shared memory using threads (OpenMPI, Parallel-LINQ), however both asymmetrical systems (GPGPU) and massive parallelism are presented as well. Parallel implementation of basic algorithms and operations are presented in seminars.
