Announcements
- Past exam papers are available.
- You can check out the latest fastest supercomputers in the Top 500 List.
- Here's a way to work out the mapping performed by the cyclic[k] data distribution.
- Students can run the mpiJava code discussed in the lectures on the machines in the Linux lab.
- "Parallel Computing: Theory and Practice" by
Michael J. Quinn is a good
book to read as it covers much of the first part of the course. However, it
contains some errors so you should check
the first errata sheet and
the second errata sheet.
- Unfortunately Quinn's book is out of print. However, there are some copies in the Trevithick Library.
