E-learning course

Annotation -

After general introduction to models of parallel programming, we will cover main rules and tricks leading to efficient parallelization of various tasks. In the second part of the course, we will focus on a particlar architecture, namely graphics processing units NVIDIA. We will cover CUDA software (incl. the needed basics of laguage C++) and solve exercises focussing on the field of computational chemistry.
