| Course description |
|
Currently, high performance computers consist of multiple computers connected via network and perform parallel processing efficiently. In this class, we discuss processor technologies especially on cache memory in a computing system. Cache technology for multi-processing is discussed, too. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Can explain parallel processing system architecture. Can judge performance of the parallel computing system quantitatively. Can apply basic knowledge on parallel processing to the students' own researches. |
| Course schedule |
|
This course uses a compact parallel processing board Parallella. https://www.parallella.org/ Also, you should read the famous text book "Computer Architecture Quantitative Approach" and make presentation of the assigned chapter. The Content of the course is as follows: #1. Basic concept of parallel processing and its purpose #2. Basic Data communication in parallel processing: shared memory and message passing #3. Basic concept of cache memory in a single processor #4. Cache organization for shared memory: Basic protocol #5. Cache organization for shared memory: Other outstanding protocols #6. Basic installation of a parallel processing board Parallella #7. Development environment of a parallel processing board Parallella #8. Practice of parallel processing using Parallella No.1: Sample program #9. Practice of parallel processing using Parallella No.2: Message passing #10. Practice of parallel processing using Parallella No.3: Evaluation of applications #11. Practice of parallel processing using Parallella No.4: Presentation of each result #12. Presentation of the assigned chapter No.1 #13. Presentation of the assigned chapter No.2 #14. Presentation of the assigned chapter No.3 #15. Presentation of the assigned chapter No.4 |
