Parallel Programming 2023

Repository for Parallel Programming course given by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bora Canbula at Computer Engineering Department of Manisa Celal Bayar University.

Course Information

This course is about parallel programming using Python. Students will learn the basic concepts of parallel programming like threads, processes, and distributed systems. They will also learn how to use Locks, Semaphores, and Queues to synchronize threads and processes. Course starts with a brief introduction to Python and then continues with the asynchronous programming using asyncio. In the following sections, students will learn how to create multithread and multiprocess applications. Finally, students will learn how to create distributed applications using cluster computing with containers. You can find some supplementary videos for this course on my YouTube channel.
