Parallel-Distributed-Computer-Systems

7th semester (Oct 2016 - Jan 2017)

Series of project to:

• Understand parallel computer architectures
• Learn common parallel algorithms and design new ones.
• Learn how to write parallel programs

Project#1 - Octree

Creation of an octree with the Morton Code technique. The steps done are the following:

• Hash code calculation
• Bit interleaving
• Most significant digit radix sort
• Reclassification

The serial code was given and the parallel code was made using Cilk, OpenMP and Pthreads.

Language: C

Project#2 - Game of life

Simulation of the cellular automaton Game of Life. The serial code was given and the parallel code was made using MPI and OpenMP.

Language: C

Project#3 - Non local means

MATLAB code was given that implements the pipeline of the Non Local Means algorithm for image denoising. Our task was to improve its performance using CUDA.

Language: MATLAB, CUDA C

Project#4 - Backpropagation

This project implements the parallel version of the Backpropagation algorithm for neural networks training, using CUDA.

Language: C
