CS6801 MULTI-CORE ARCHITECTURES AND PROGRAMMING SYLLABUS
OBJECTIVES:
The student should be made to:
-> Understand the challenges in parallel and multi-threaded programming.
-> Learn about the various parallel programming paradigms, and solutions.

UNIT I MULTI-CORE PROCESSORS
Single core to Multi-core architectures – SIMD and MIMD systems – Interconnection networks - Symmetric and Distributed Shared Memory Architectures – Cache coherence - Performance Issues – Parallel program design.

UNIT II PARALLEL PROGRAM CHALLENGES
Performance – Scalability – Synchronization and data sharing – Data races – Synchronization primitives (mutexes, locks, semaphores, barriers) – deadlocks and livelocks – communication between threads (condition variables, signals, message queues and pipes).

UNIT III SHARED MEMORY PROGRAMMING WITH OpenMP

OpenMP Execution Model – Memory Model – OpenMP Directives – Work-sharing Constructs - Library functions – Handling Data and Functional Parallelism – Handling Loops - Performance Considerations.

UNIT IV DISTRIBUTED MEMORY PROGRAMMING WITH MPI

MPI program execution – MPI constructs – libraries – MPI send and receive – Point-to-point and Collective communication – MPI derived datatypes – Performance evaluation

UNIT VPARALLEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

Case studies - n-Body solvers – Tree Search – OpenMP and MPI implementations and comparison.

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
-> Program Parallel Processors.
-> Develop programs using OpenMP and MPI.
-> Compare and contrast programming for serial processors and programming for parallel processors.
