This document provides an overview of parallel computing concepts. It defines parallel computing as using multiple compute resources simultaneously to solve a problem by breaking it into discrete parts that can be solved concurrently. It discusses Flynn's taxonomy for classifying computer architectures based on whether their instruction and data streams are single or multiple. Shared memory, distributed memory, and hybrid memory models are described for parallel computer architectures. Programming models like shared memory, message passing, data parallel and hybrid models are covered. Reasons for using parallel computing include saving time/money, solving larger problems, providing concurrency, and limits of serial computing.
1. This document introduces parallel computing, which involves dividing large problems into smaller concurrent tasks that can be solved simultaneously using multiple processors to reduce computation time.
2. Parallel computing systems include single machines with multi-core CPUs and computer clusters consisting of multiple interconnected machines. Common parallel programming models involve message passing between distributed memory processors.
3. Performance of parallel programs is measured by metrics like speedup and efficiency. Factors like load balancing, serial fractions of problems, and parallel overhead affect how well a problem can scale with additional processors.
The document provides an introduction and overview of parallel computing. It discusses parallel computing systems and parallel programming models like MPI and OpenMP. It covers theoretical concepts like Amdahl's law and practical limits of parallel computing related to load balancing and non-computational sections. Examples of parallel programming using MPI and OpenMP are also presented.

The document discusses advancements in automated AI planning over 50 years, highlighting significant developments since the Shakey project, including improved heuristic search and classical planning techniques. It presents a framework for non-classical planning that addresses complex real-world tasks by reformulating them to be compatible with classical planners, and specifies how these objectives can be expressed using linear temporal logic and other methodologies. The focus is on leveraging classical approaches to effectively handle non-classical planning challenges, improving performance in various applications.
This document discusses regular languages and finite automata (FA). It begins by stating that any regular expression (Regex) can be converted to a finite automaton (FA) and vice versa, since Regex and FA are equivalent in their descriptive power. A regular language is one that is recognized by some FA.
The document then provides details on converting a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) to a regular expression (Regex) in two steps: 1) converting the DFA to a generalized nondeterministic finite automaton (GNFA) and 2) converting the GNFA to a Regex. It describes the properties of a GNFA, including that transition functions can contain Regex, and provides an example and formal definition of a
This document summarizes a lecture on automata theory, specifically discussing non-regular languages, the pumping lemma, and regular expressions. It introduces the language B={0n1n | n 0} as a non-regular language that cannot be recognized by a DFA. It then proves the pumping lemma theorem and uses it to show that B and the language of strings with equal numbers of 0s and 1s are non-regular. Finally, it defines regular expressions as a way to describe languages and provides examples of regular expressions and their meanings.
The document provides an introduction to Apache Storm, an open-source distributed real-time computation system. It outlines the core concepts of Storm including topologies, spouts, bolts, streams and tuples. Spouts are sources of streams, while bolts process input streams and produce output streams. Topologies define the logic of an application as a graph of operators and streams. The document also discusses Storm's architecture, guaranteed processing, usage examples at companies like Twitter and Yahoo, and comparisons to other frameworks.
The document provides an introduction to Message Passing Interface (MPI), which is a standard for message passing parallel programming. It discusses key MPI concepts like communicators, data types, point-to-point and collective communication routines. It also presents examples of common parallel programming patterns like broadcast, scatter-gather, and parallel sorting and matrix multiplication. Programming hints are provided, along with references for further reading.

This document discusses the development of a new type of lightweight material called aerographite. It explains that aerographite is composed of graphite flakes that are only a few atoms thick and have nanoscale pores between them, making it 99% air. This gives it superior properties to other lightweight materials like being 10 times lighter than styrofoam but able to withstand high pressures and temperatures. Researchers believe aerographite could be used to develop stronger and lighter aircraft, cars, and energy storage materials.
The document discusses different types of system interconnect architectures used for internal connections between processors, memory modules, and I/O devices or for distributed networking of multicomputer nodes.
