Course objectives
The objective of the course is to acquaint students with the principles of design and implementation of parallel algorithms as well as with programmer's means for their development. After completion of the course, students should understand problems related to parallel computing; they should be able to design and implement their own parallel applications, they should know how to use selected libraries supporting development of parallel programming, and they should have had an idea of what is behind the API calls to such libraries.
