Introduction to Parallel Computing

Posted by timothy on from the stand-all-in-several-lines dept.

taped2thedesk writes "The University of Michigan Center for Advanced Computing recently conducted a introductory workshop on parallel (cluster and grid) computing systems. They posted all of the presentations and notes from their workshop online. I attended the workshop and found it very informative - code examples are in C and Fortran, but programmers of any language can understand the concepts they present." (Note: requires a program that can display powerpoint slides.)

    Ours was a bit longer, and covered openMP as well (umich seems to only care about mpi :)). Link is here, and has both powerpoint slides and html for the microsoft-phobes.

    So adding filetype:ppt gives you an HTML viewer for powerpoint via google? How nifty. learn something new everyday.

    Anyone try this technique with these presentations?
