Philosophy of CPS/CIS 412 Data Parallel Computing

From Computational Science Overview May 1195 Presentation at Illinois Computational Science Seminar -- May 5,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Parallel Performance is a primary issue throughout although we try to preserve some degree of elegance and simplicity in our programs
Many examples compare several programs for the same calculation so as to observe the performance of various styles of communication and different programming paradigms
Several examples include programs adapted to different problem sizes, illustrating the significance of the problem size/machine size relation
Students complete one substantial programming project and a few small exercises
