Processes and processors, shared memory, fork join constructs, basic parallel programming techniques loop spliting, spin locks, contention barriers and row conditions.
Variations in splitting, self and indirect scheduling, data dependency forward and backward block scheduling.
Linear recurrence relations, backward dependency, performance tuning overhead with number of processes, effective use of cache.
Parallel programming examples: Average, mean squared deviation, curve fitting, numerical integration, travelling salesman problem, Guassian elimination, and discrete event time simulation.
Parallel programming constructs in HPF, Fortran 95,parallel programming under Unix.
