Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives: The course gives an overview of the architectures and communication networks employed in parallel computers. The course covers the foundations for development of efficient parallel algorithms, including examples from relatively simple numerical problems, sorting, and graph problems. Adaption of algorithms to special computer architectures is discussed.
Course Content: Relevant theory is covered in lectures together with examples of how one develops parallel computer programs. The students then solve programming problems themselves using parallel computers. A large part of the teaching is practically oriented.
