Summary of Material
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 |
A look to the future is based on results from Petaflops workshop |
