Course Motivations

• Why study Parallel Systems?


– Today, serial computers do not exists.
– Even, your mobile phone is a parallel machine.
– CPU’s Clock frequencies are getting lower.
– Number of processors are increasing.
– We, cannot ignore parallel aspect of hardware, if
we want good performances.
Course Aims

• Introduction to parallel architectures

• Difference between conventional and parallel systems

• Learning fundamental concepts of parallel program


design
• Programming parallel machines using:
– OpenMP
– OpenCL
– MPI, etc.
Course Aims
• Understanding performance aspects of parallel
programs and analyzing it

• Dependence analysis, and developing parallel


algorithms

• Optimizing parallel codes

• Exposure to the state-of-the-art research issues in


parallel computing
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
• After completion of the course, the students shall be able to:
1. Understand the concepts related to parallel computing
architectures,
parallelization strategies, and other aspects related to the parallelization.

2. Perform dependence analysis to identify the parallelizable


application segments.

3. Optimize performance of serial and parallel applications


and performance analysis.

4. Program parallel applications using OpenMP, MPI, and OpenCL.

5. Explore state-of-the-art research related to parallel and


distributed computing and related domains
