From Second set of lectures on CPS615 Parallel Computing Overview CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
This starts with a discussion of Parallel Computing using analogies from nature
It uses foils and material from CSEP chapter on Computer Architecture to discuss how and why to build a parallel computer including synchronization memory structure and network issues
SIMD and MIMD Architectures with a brief comparison of workstation networks with closely coupled systems
