Year 3 - COMP308 - Efficient Parallel Algorithms

Lecturer

Dr. I. Potapov

Brief Description

This is a very introductory module on parallel algorithmics and its relations to sequential computations. It will be deal with how to compute things faster in parallel by breaking a problem into smaller pieces and solve larger problems without resorting to larger computers; what kind of parallel speedup is required, what architecture should be used and whether a problem is amenable at all to a parallel attack. Another issue is a programming language and a software supporting implementation of parallel algorithms (Java, PVM, Compositional C++).
