5th and 6th hours (computer exercises) –The goal of these 2 h was to continue work on parallelizing some programs and analyzing the speedup, with the example processes mainly involving matrix operations. As can be seen, students were, to a great extent, active participants during classes, es...
Former assistants have made significant contributions and include Oscar Chinellato, Dr Roman Geus, and Dr Andrea Scascighini—particularly for their contributions to the exercises. The help of our system gurus cannot be over- stated. George Sigut (our Beowulf machine), Bruno Loepfe (our Cray ...
examples, exercises, and practical computing tasks plays a very important role in this area. Parallelism and supercomputers must be used only where they are really needed. Why make a program parallel that takes 0.1 s to compute in serial mode?
