| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| Principles of concurrent and parallel programming with the main issues analysys and a study of the most important concurrent data structures (list, queues, hash tables, priority queues, etc.) Parallel scheduling. Principles of the architecture of multiprocessors and multi-cores. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE ON THE ARCHITECTURE OF NETWORKS AND TCP / IP PROTOCOLS AND CLIENT/SERVER PROGRAMMING. THE STUDENT MUST ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE IN JAVA AND C AND OPERATING SYSTEMS, AND MUST BE ABLE TO USE PROFICUOSULY AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE IS MADE UP BY A FOUNDATIONAL PART, DEALING WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF CONCURRENT COMPUTING (ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURE) ARALLEL COMPUTING (MPI PROGRAMMING) AND CLOUD COMPUTING (AMAZON AWS) AND A PRACTICAL PART DEALING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLE PARALLEL APPLICATIONS IN C-MPI AND THEIR BENCHMARKING ON AMAZON CLOUD. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| SIX EXAM SESSIONS DURING THE WHOLE ACADEMIC YEAR, IN ADDITION TO TWO SPECIAL ONES RESERVED TO STUDENTS WHO LACK A FEW EXAMS FOR THEIR DEGREE. EACH SESSION IS PROVIDED WITH A PROJECT TEST (THAT MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN A MONTH) AND AN ORAL TEST. THE RESULTING MARK IS CALCULATED USING A WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE TWO TEST MARKS. |
