A Practical Parallel Programming Course based on Problems of the Spanish Parallel Programming Contest

A State-Wide Senior Parallel Programming Course

In this paper, we describe an undergraduate parallel programming course based upon networked workstations. The course is offered on the NC-REN (North Carolina Research and Education Network), a private telecommunications network which interconnects universities in North Carolina and provides multiway, face-to-face video and audio communications. Course materials are described and made available...

Practical Aspects of High-Level Parallel Programming

A Parallel Programming Methodology Based on Paradigms

Today's eeorts are mainly concentrated on providing \standard" parallel languages to ensure the portability of programs across various architectures. It is now believed that the next level of abstraction that will be addressed is the application level. This paper argues that there is an intermediate level that consist of common parallel programming paradigms. It describes some of these paradigm...

Pattern-Based Parallel Programming

The advantages of pattern-based programming have been well-documented in the sequential literature. However patterns have yet to make their way into mainstream parallel computing, even though several research tools support them. There are two critical shortcomings of pattern (or template) based systems for parallel programming: lack of extensibility and performance. The patterns supported by a ...

Broadcast-Based Parallel Programming

The properties of a parallel programming model are largely determined by the model of communication/interaction upon which it is based. Parallel programming models, languages and implementations have historically been formulated in terms of shared memory and/or message passing communication models. This paper motivates parallel programming models based on broadcast communication and defines and...
