Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

What is a distributed system? A distributed system is a collection of independent computers that appear to the user as a single coherent system. To accomplish a common objective, the computers in a ...

Dr. Rao Mikkilineni and Ian Seyler have published a paper that introduces the new Parallax operating system for scalable, distributed and parallel computing. Parallax, a new operating system, ...

Development tools for parallel computer systems tend to be architecture-specific, difficult to integrate and fairly basic. Parallel application developers often find themselves juggling tools to match ...

As a subset of distributed computing, edge computing isn’t new, but it exposes an opportunity to distribute latency-sensitive application resources more optimally. Every single tech development these ...

Students will be able to analyze the computing and memory architecture of a super computing node and use OpenMP directives to improve vectorization of their programs. This module focuses on the key ...

In this video, Torsten Hoefler from ETH Zurich presents: Scientific Benchmarking of Parallel Computing Systems. Measuring and reporting performance of parallel computers constitutes the basis for ...

The end of dramatic exponential growth in single-processor performance marks the end of the dominance of the single microprocessor in computing. The era of sequential computing must give way to a new ...
