CS267: Lecture 4
Introduction to Parallel Computers and Parallel Programming Methodologies
September 5, 2002
Lecturer: Horst D. Simon
Abstract
The main topic of today's lecture is parallelism models. We discuss
several models of parallel machines and the programming models that most
naturally fit on those machines. We give an overview of shared memory,
distributed memory, and data parallelism. We note that one machine
may support several different models, however, and the models typically
differ in how complicated they are to use and how well they perform.
