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.)

  1. grid Mathematica by Ann+Coulter · · Score: 4, Interesting

    gridMathematica also runs in parallel for those who need to process extremely complicated mathematical forms.

  2. We did this too... by gnuadam · · Score: 4, Informative

    We did this as well at my university.

    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.
