MULTI-CORE ARCHITECTURES AND PROGRAMMING

 LPTC
3003

OBJECTIVES:
• To understand the need for multi-core processors, and their architecture.
• To understand the challenges in parallel and multi-threaded programming.
• To learn about the various parallel programming paradigms,
• To develop multicore programs and design parallel solutions.

UNIT I

MULTI-CORE PROCESSORS

9
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

9
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

9
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

9
MPI program execution – MPI constructs – libraries – MPI send and receive – Point-to-point and Collective communication – MPI derived datatypes – Performance evaluation

UNIT V

PARALLEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

9
Case studies - n-Body solvers – Tree Search – OpenMP and MPI implementations and comparison.

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
• Describe multicore architectures and identify their characteristics and challenges.
• Identify the issues in programming Parallel Processors.
• Write programs using OpenMP and MPI.
• Design parallel programming solutions to common problems.
• Compare and contrast programming for serial processors and programming for parallel processors.
