Annotation -
The course covers the basics of parallel programming and distributed processing of computationally intensive tasks and procedures. The aim of the course is to analyze the process communication and time complexity of process subtasks with respect to design the procedures with optimized parallel performance. Implementation of the studied methods is predominantly in programming languages JAVA and MATLAB.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

  • Distinguish whether it is easy to make given task or procedure parallel.

  • Design effective parallel procedures.

  • Propose other possible acceleration of calculations for tasks with hard parallelization.

Course completion requirements -

To complete the course, student must successfully pass an exam test covering the student's practical skills and pass the oral exam covering the theoretical knowledge. The final mark is determined by the points for attendance (max. 40 p, in selected cases can be replaced by the test), from the exam test (max. 30 p) and from the oral exam (max 30 p).
