Parallele Programmierung (Parallel Programming) SS12

The parallel programming has a broad spectrum of possible applications on a huge number of different parallel computer architectures like high performance parallel computers, commodity desktop architectures with Hyperthreading and multi core technologies and clusters of PCs. Parallel programming techniques will be used in a broad range of software development.
 
The course treats different approaches for parallel programming by introducing the parallel programming environments Pthreads, Java-Threads, OpenMP, MPI, PVM and UPC. The course teaches the different programming models, the parallel programming patterns, the concepts of the underlying programming environments and the practical implementation of parallel programs.
