to Parallel Processing
Semester 2011A
Course Number: 361-1-3621
General Information:
Course Objectives
The goal of this course is to provide a
modern in-depth introduction to Parallel Processing. The course will
cover theoretical and practical aspects of Parallel Processing
Syllabus
The course
is a
modern introduction to techniques for getting the most out of your
available computing resources: Starting from the single desktop with a
few cores to a departmental cluster of dedicated computers, then, on a
larger scale, a campus-wide distributed computing system and finally a
global, multi-national, Grid Computing environment.
In the
course we
will learn the following topics: Distributed Parallel Computing (the
Message
Passing Interface), Shared Memory programming (OpenMP), High-Throughput
Computing (Condor), the European Grid project (EGEE) in which the
Ben-Gurion
University is a participating member. Additional topics such as Cloud
Computing and GPGPUs will be taught
if time permits.
There is
going to be lots of hands-on practice.
Students
with a strong
computing background are encouraged to register ( Linux familiarity is
a plus)
