Parallel Computing and Architectures
(Lecture Notes)

Lecture slides for second section of the course covering Parallel Architectures including analogies with society, SIMD versus MIMD, Interconnection Networks, Petaflop Dreams, etc.
Lecture slides for the third section of the course covering Parallel Programming in Data Parallel and Message Passing styles illustrated for Laplace's Equation. Also, performance issues were considered.
Lecture slides: Architecture Classes of High Performance Computers.
Lecture slides: MIMD Distributed Memory Architecture.
Lecture slides: Latency/Bandwidth Space for 0-byte message(Latency) and 1 MB message(bandwidth).
Computer Architecture is a chaper from the Computational Science Education Project (CSEP). It covers both sequential as well as parallel architectures.
