Applied Parallel Computing (SMA 5505) As taught in: Spring 2005 The photo represents an example of parallel computing. The Beowulf project consists of one front end and nine computers, resulting in high computing performance. (Photo by Alan Edelman.) Instructors: Prof. Alan Edelman MIT Course Number: 18.337J / 6.338J Level: Undergraduate Course Description Applied Parallel Computing is an advanced interdisciplinary introduction to applied parallel computing on modern supercomputers. Syllabus Course Meeting Times Lectures: 2 sessions / week, 1.5 hours /session Description Applied Parallel Computing is an advanced interdisciplinary introduction to applied parallel computing on modern supercomputers. Numerical topics include dense and sparse linear algebra, N-body problems, multigrid, fast-multipole, wavelets and Fourier transforms. Geometrical topics include partitioning and mesh generation. Other topics include applications oriented architecture, software systems, MPI, Cilk, data parallel systems, Parallel MATLAB®, caches and vector processors with hands-on emphasis on understanding the realities and myths of what is possible on the worlds 请点击 /ocwdonate fastest machines. One emphasis for this course will be VHLLs or very high level languages for parallel computing. Are we there yet? Prerequisite Linear Algebra (18.06) Assignments and Projects There are 3 homework assignments. The first assignment is to pick a topic of interest for your final project. You will need to hand in 2 progress reports, and a final project report. Also, you are required to do two presentations on the project, one before Spring break when you hand in your first progress report, and one at the end of the semester. Also you need to keep a Web site on your project. All reports and the Web site will be made public and archived. Grading ACTIVITIES
