Seminari de recerca: "Introduction to Multithreading/Multiprocessing Programming"

The special lecture "Multithreading/Multiprocessing" gives an overview of current technologies to develop parallel, concurrent software on multicore and multiprocessor systems. The lecture begins with a general definition of the relevant terms. Next, traditional multithreading concepts are presented. Here, synchronisation and Inter-Process Communication (IPC) are also mentioned. The next part on OpenMP shows an automatic way to accelerate the computation of algorithms on a single machine. In addition, the topic of Message Passing Interface (MPI) shows similar concepts for systems in a network. Finally, parallel programming using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) is depicted. The lecture includes several programming demonstrations and can also be extended to hands-on activities (if hardware/software is available).
