HLRS Parallel Programming Workshop in the Internet

Munich 21 January 2002 HLRS (Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum, High-Performance Computer Center Stuttgart) put its 6-day parallel programming workshop into the Internet. It is available in three versions: ONLINE, Online presentation of the slides without audio information; ONLINE-English, Online presentation of the slides with english audio information; and PDF, a full copy of the slides with 2 slides per sheet to print the course material.

Further audio-based presentations will be available soon. The audio information is coded as RealMedia Playlists. They require at least the free RealPlayer 8 Basic or the free RealPlayer One, see Real web page. PDF files can be viewed with the free Acrobat reader, see Acrobat web page.

Based on HLRS Parallel Programming Workshops, HLRS made the total course material on-line available. It includes the full audio information. The course contains for example:
