Course objectives

Purpose. The main goal of course is to study the basic methods and algorithms of parallel and distributed computing, principles of design appropriate structures, the initial acquisition of practical skills of designing such facilities.

Problem. The main objective of the course is to familiarize students with the principle of the work of vector and parallel computers; to learn basic approaches to the construction of parallel methods and algorithms.

As result after studying of this course the student must

know: basic methods and algorithms of parallel and distributed processing, programming tools for parallel and distributed structure, composition of hardware and software computer systems with elements of parallel and distributed processing and classes of high-level languages for them;

be able: perform exercises from parallelization of algorithms.
