By Tiago Damasceno and Samuel Leeman-Munk
Shodor, Durham, NC
The materials linked below comprise a set of student exercises on parallelizing a serial code using Shared memory and Distributed memory parallelism. The example problem for this exercise is a Riemann Sum calculation of the area under a curve.
- Area Under a Curve Module - A PDF document providing background on the problem, insructions for the activities, and rubrics for assessment of student work.
- Area-Serial - Serial version of the Riemann sum calculator.
- Area-OMP - Shared memory version of the Riemann sum calculator.
- Area-MPI - Distributed memory version of the Riemann sum calculator.
