We Introduce Computational Science and Driving Forces
  • Technology Advances and Commodity Trends
  • Inevitability of Parallelism
  • Integration of Distributed and Parallel Computing
  • Comparison with Internetics
We give a simple overview of parallel architectures today with distributed, shared or distributed shared memory
We describe data, functional and pleasing parallelism
We describe principles of parallel programming using atmospheric simulation as an example
We describe the growing importance of Java
We explain pragmatic choices
  • MPI with Fortran and C today
  • Java Grande is future?

There is a conventional website http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/jsufall98
This will hold links to all presentations given in the class and to other resources at both NPAC and elsewhere
This can be used to review material before and after classes -- in the lingo, it is an asynchronous learning resource
We teach the class from Syracuse twice a week for 70 minutes at 5.30pm Syracuse, 4.30 pm Jackson time.
This teaching uses Tango to deliver electronic material remotely
Tango supports inter alia chat rooms, whiteboards, and the sharing of web pages. These are web pages available at "conventional website" above. This is synchronous learning but it uses same material you would use offline.
