Course description and aims

Parallel programming is an indispensable technique to use a recent computer efficiently. In this lecture and exercise, you will learn the basic knowledge and practical skills for parallel programming.
In a parallel program, problems not occurring in a non-parallel program happen. The reason why those happen and methods to avoid them are explained in lecture. Actual programming is experienced in exercise. Therefore please acquire programming knowledge in advance.
Java language is adopted in this class.

Student learning outcomes

The goal of this class is to learn several knowledge parts to build a right parallel program, such as right data resource sharing, synchronization, appropriate calculation power distribution, deferred execution and so on through java code.

Topics are:
1) understanding where a data instance is stored
2) thread programming
3) event-driven programming
4) GPU programming

Keywords

Thread programming, GPU programming, GUI programming, Visibility, Synchronize, Monitor, Atomicity

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

lecture terms are in classroom and exercise terms are in computer room of our faculty.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

None

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Handout will be uploaded on OCW.
Data and sample codes will be uploaded on a web site.

Assessment criteria and methods

Practice assignment reports and paper test. The assignment report scores will most heavily affect the final score, but the final paper test must be taken.
