1. Parallel Computing About the Course Ondřej Jakl Institute of Geonics, Academy of Sci. of the CR TUL 28. 5. 2010

2. Today the first part of a two-part course on Parallel Computing “Parallel newcomers” as the supposed audience Prerequisites: basic skills in (sequential) programming (C lang.) Fact: No chance to learn parallel programming in one day Goals: To provide some orientation in the field, to show directions for self-study Material motivated from numerous textbooks and information sources –[Foster 1995] the most important one Based on a parallel programming course given at VSB-TUO, but major update Not certain if able to keep the schedule Second part (September?) – more advanced topics (suggestions?), some practical training?
