----------------------------------------------------------------------- CISC 649 Tpcs: Parallel Comp Applications Texts: "How to write Parallel Programs," Carierro and Gelernter, 1991. "Guide to Parallel Programming," Sequent. "Linda users manual" "PVM users guide" Content: The principles of parallel computation are studied with special emphasis on methods suited to applications programming. A major emphasis in the course will be individual student projects: the development of significant parallel programs for the Sun and Sequent 8 processor servers and/or our 16 workstation FDDI ring. Primary concurrency tools will be C/Linda, PVM (message passing system) and threads, with some attention to other tools. In this context techniques for the development, analysis, testing, and validation of parallel programs will be studied. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
