Syllabus

Communication and computation networks are one of the main models of parallel and distributed systems.
Basic problems of communication and computation networks can be formulated to a large extent on a graph-theoretical level and especially this approach is dealt with in the lecture. In addition, problems of networks will be put into the context of other basic models of parallel computers.
PRAM model and algorithms for PRAM
Models of parallel computers
Basic networks (arrays, toroids, hypercubes, cube-connected cycles, shuffle exchange, de Bruijn graphs, trees)
Cayley graph networks
Broadcasting a gossiping
Embeddings
Routing
Mutual simulations of networks
Simulation of PRAM on networks
Layouts
Limitations of networks
Systolic systems
Cellular automata
