Parallel Programming Course (ParaP)

This course is not available anymore

Summary

This course gives an overview of parallel programming techniques. In this course you will learn the main concepts using languages  and API such as pThreads, OpenMP, MPI, OpenCL, Cuda. This course includes a project where you write a drone auto-pilot based on Cuda (using the http://jakopter.irisa.fr platform).

This course is part of the Esir Cuda Training Center. The GPGPU part of this course is available here.

This course is implemented as a flipped classroom using the ScalableLearning platform.

The codes used in the context of this course are available at: https://github.com/francoisbodin/tgoc-esir-2013
