Course objectives
On successful completion students should understand the principles of design and implementation of parallel algorithms and should have limited experience with programmer's means for their development. In particular, students should be able to design and implement their own parallel application, they should know how to use selected libraries supporting development of parallel applications, and should be able to explain what is behind the API calls to such libraries.
