Distributed Computing Seminar
In this seminar we will investigate programming paradigms for distributed computing beyond MPI.
General Information
| When | Wednesdays at 16:15 (sine tempore) (AKA 16:00 (cum tempore)) |
| Where | Room 401, E1 3 |
The first meeting will be on 18 April 2018.
Modus Operandi
Participants will be divided into six groups (two persons per group). Each group will implement a distributed conjugate gradient solver which requires a distributed sparse matrix-vector multiplication. Each group will use a different programming technique.
Moreover, each participant will moderate the discussion for one scientific paper. We will have meetings during the semester in which we will discuss two of the papers. The discussion will be managed by the student to whom the paper was assigned. She/He is responsible for giving a short summary on the paper and for structuring the following discussion.
Prior to each meeting, every student has to write a summary (max. 500 words) for each paper. This summary should include open questions and is to be submitted to Roland Leißa two days before the corresponding meeting (23:59). The summaries of all participants will be made available and can be used by the moderator to structure the discussion in the following meeting.
Registration
Closed.
Please remember to register in the HISPOS!
Coding
Please register in our GitLab and email Roland Leißa your GitLab username and desired group name. You will then get access to a GitLab project matching your group's name. You can use this project for coding. Additionally, you will obtain read access to the paper list in our Wiki.
