Parallel MATLAB® for Multicore and Multinode Computers
Friday, July 10, 2009
4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
MATLAB is one of the most commonly used languages for scientific computing with approximately one million users worldwide. The Lincoln pMatlab library, The Mathworks’ PCT, and StarP from ISC have brought parallel computing to this community using the distributed array programming paradigm. This talk provides an introduction to distributed array programming and will describe the best programming practices for using distributed arrays to produce well performing parallel MATLAB programs. This minitutorial will draw heavily from the instructor's forthcoming book of the same title to be published by SIAM Press, Inc.
