* 24/10/2011 ** TBB ** --- Introduction to the Thread Building Blocks Library. History, current programming models (parallel patterns and C++ generics, task generation and scheduling over threads), examples of basic parallel patterns (parallel for, reduce), examples of concurrency-aware containers (hashmaps, vectors, queues) and related issues, concurrency control via mutex objects.
* 26/10/2011 ** MPI lab 3 **

* 31/10/2011 ** KDD and Data Mining Algorithms ** --- the K-means algorithm as a parallelization example. MPI parallelization.
* 7/11/2011 ** MPI lab 5 **
* 9/11/2011 ** MPI lab 6 **
* 10/11/2011 ** MPI lab 7 **
* 14/11/2011 ** Grid to Cloud Computing ** --- Survey of the Grid Computing paradigm. Key ideas, research and implementation issues. The concept of middleware; main functions Grid middleware has to provide. Limits of the approach as it was carried on: scalability, lack of a compelling business model. Differences with respect to Cloud Computing: HW Virtualization, consequences on the business models of Providers and users; reversal of the administration burden, everything-as-a-service metaphor : IaaS, PaaS, SaaS levels. Dinamicity and elasticity as a primary requirement. HPC orientation vs Service Orientation.
