This month, I give a crash course in parallel programming so you can get a feel for what is involved. There are two broad categories of parallel programs: shared memory and message passing.

In this slidecast, Torsten Hoefler from ETH Zurich presents: Data-Centric Parallel Programming. The ubiquity of accelerators in high-performance computing has driven programming complexity beyond the ...

Take a look: This is a very interesting chart, and the important thing is that not all of these parallel programming approaches are mutually exclusive. Message Passing Interface, or MPI, is often ...

In this video from the recent Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing, Bill Gropp from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign presents: MPI and Hybrid Programming Models. “Blue Waters ...

Parallel Programming and Multicore Systems Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Parallel Programming and Multicore Systems.

In this paper we consider a class of parallel machine scheduling problems and their associated set-partitioning formulations. We show that the tightness of the linear programming relaxation of these ...
