 === News and Updates ===
-  * 20/5/2019 Lessons on 23/05 and 30/05 will change plae and duration: they will be held in Room X2 in the 14:00-- 17:00 slot (3 hours).
+   * 21/04/2021 Final Examination for one candidate to be held today. To be held online (see course MS teams channel Esami) at 15.40. The examination teleconference is public.
-  * 14/3/2019 MPI lab of today rescheduled to Monday 18/3
+   * 22/02/2021 There's going to be NO LESSON today due to personal constraints. Next scheduled lesson is on Wednesday 24. All students who are interested in the course should contact me via email or via the microsoft teams chat of the course (535AA 20/21...) , **especially** if there is a superposition with their other teaching slots. \\ __It is possible to change the course schedule as needed__ (both Monday and Wednesday slots can be moved), but contact me ASAP.
-  * 12/3/2019 Final lesson schedule change, see above.
+   * 17/02/21 First lesson will be held on the MS teams online platform today, 16:15-18:00. I will open the meeting at 16 in order to check if all technical issues are actually solved.
-  * 27/2/2019 Starting next week, the final official schedule applies (Monday, Wednesday)
+   * 15/02/2021 Students which are interested in the course (or even just the first lesson) should either check this page before the lesson or write me an email, in case of further issues with the online platform. //In that case a different one will be used as a backup and the lesson URL will be sent by email.//
-  * 27/2/2019 today's lesson is in CNR room C40 (CNR-ISTI, close to entrance 19) from (about) 16.20 to 18.20
+   * The first lesson of the Course will be held on February 17. The virtual room information will be posted on this page as soon as possible, due to issues with both the MS Teams and Google Meet platforms.
-  * 19/2/2019 **IMPORTANT**: schedule will likely change from next week on. If you missed the first lesson due to a schedule conflict with other courses, please contact the teacher ASAP so that we can try to reschedule the lessons to non-conflicting slots.
-  * 2nd lesson on Friday 22/2.
-  * First lesson is on Monday 18/2

Robinson and James Reinders -- Structured Parallel Programming (patterns for Efficient Computation)** 2012, Morgan Kaufmann. \\ Chapters 1 to 3 cover background topics which should be already known from previous courses (SPA, SPD courses). Stundents need to focus on the TBB material throughout the book: Appendix C and D, and the TBB examples in the book that appendix C references from chapters 4, 5, 8 and 9. Check also Chapter 11 on k-means.
