Abstract:


Parallel Computers consisting in thousands of processors 
are now commercially available. These computers provide 
many orders of magnitude more raw computing power than 
traditional supercomputers at much lower cost. The avail-
ability of massively parallel computers has created a 
number of challenges, for example: How should parallel 
computers be programmed? How can the quality of the algorithms 
be analyzed?, etc.  In this talk we will introduce the parallel 
computing message pasing paradigm through some examples that 
state some of the difficulties and research questions arising 
when using parallel computers.
