Lectures:
Introduction to parallel systems. The message passing model. Point-to-point and collective communication. Message Passing Interface (MPI) - an example of a message passing systems.
Design of parallel algorithms - the methodology. Decomposition (domain, functional), communication analysis, agglomeration, mapping to processors. Load balancing techniques. Analysis and evaluation of parallel algorithms. Amdahl's law.
Technical classification of parallel (distributed) systems. Flynn's taxonomy. Architectures with distributed and shared memory. Interconnection subsystems of parallel computers.
Specific parallel programming on architectures with shared memory. Threads. OpenMP. Another models of parallel processing.
Distributed system, differences between parallel and distributed systems.
Selected distributed concepts and algorithms.
Remote Procedure Calls. Principles, specifics and semantics of remote calls. RPC/XDR Standard.
Distributed object systems. Object request broker. Stub, skeleton, servant, object adapter. Implementation portability. Interface definition languages, language mappings. Passing by value and by reference, marshalling. CORBA and RMI architectures.
Advanced features of distributed object systems. Dynamic object activation (POA, RMI activators). Dynamic invocations (CORBA DII), interface repository. Dynamic Skeleton Interface. Asynchronous invocations. Naming service: CORBA Naming Service, RMI Registry. CORBA Services.
