Course Objective

This is a short introduction to Parallel Computing that will include an overview of the basic concepts of parallel programming: from running your job in an embarrassingly parallel way to writing simple shared and distributed memory parallelization codes in different languages. The seminar will cover several examples of actual parallel codes however it will not have any “hands on” components. A basic programming experience (of any language, no parallelization) is preferred in order to better follow the topics presented during the seminar.
