  Course Overview

BEOWULF is the generic name used to describe a cluster of inexpensive  computers used collectively to solve a single task. Such clusters have  emerged as a low-cost alternative to parallel supercomputers. Several  clusters are now established at Chicago. The course will provide a  basic introduction to their use.    We will focus on the use of multiple processors cooperating to solve  a common task. The course will focus on the use of the message-passing  standard MPI as the basic programming model. This is a library of  communication and synchronization routines that can be used with  either C or Fortran. Students will be required to implement basic  algorithms in either C or Fortran using MPI.
