Cíle studia:

Nowadays, the importance of parallel computing rapidly grows due to the fact that Moore's law moved to parallelization of processors, multiprocessor systems are becoming a commodity, and even any PC end-user meets these systems. These trends bring challenges for SW developers, since common applications should be optimally parallelized. The goal of the module is to provide an overview of present parallel architectures in PCs, emebedded systems, mobile computing devices, GPUs. The aim is to teach students tools and methods for programming these systems.
