Teaching Tools for Parallel Processing

Tags:
parallel processing

Overview Because many universities lack the funds to purchase expensive parallel computers, cost effective alternatives are needed to teach students about parallel processing. Free software is available to support the three major paradigms of parallel computing. Parallaxis is a sophisticated SIMD simulator which runs on a variety of platforms. jBACI shared memory simulator supports the MIMD model of computing with a common shared memory. PVM and MPI allow students to treat a network of workstations as a message passing MIMD multicomputer with distributed memory. Each of this software tools can be used in a variety of courses to give students experience with parallel algorithms.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: A sea of bits

What a drop in price and physical size - two parallel drives instead of five. I drew gasps from the class when I told them: "When I was just two years older than you I was purchasing Winchester Disk Drives at $20,000 for 20MB - and they were about...

IBM smashes the supercomputing petaflop

By connecting tens of thousands of computing nodes, they can work together simultaneously in a parallel fashion, just in the way that the brain does. Neurons are very slow but they work in parallel to create significant computing capability.

One-laptop-per-child by next year?

The proposed design of the machines calls for a 500MHz processor, 1GB of memory and a unique dual-mode display that can be used in full-colour mode, or in a black-and-white sunlight-readable mode. We wanted to use colour because it's a message of...

Torvalds issues new Linux kernel

One change in this domain is improvement in how Linux handles Numa - non-uniform memory access. Large servers most often divide memory so it's in patches near different processors. An operating system tries to make sure a computing task on one...

Without peers: How P2P will become mainstream

At the same time, also gaining credibility was parallel computing, a way of using many computers to share CPU resources across a network to make connected machines function as one large supercomputer.
