Assignments

• Here is a link to my assignments page
  (access restricted, UBC CS @cs.ubc.ca Login Required).

• I picked for studying one of the live ongoing projects on design of parallel tools in eclipse platform, the PTP project. I worked with the developers in fixing the bugs in this tool and they were kind enough to put my name up on the project's contributer's list.

  Useful Links

• Lam/MPI Homepage
  Tip: Fedora Core 4 comes with LAM package. Select it during install & just make sure you update LAM by using "yum update lam" from console. Fedora Core 5 comes with LAm 7 so you can directly use it.
• OpenMPI Homepage: http://www.open-mpi.org/
• Tau Homepage: http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/tau/home.php
  
• MPE Homepage
  Note: Some linux systems require you to pass ":0.0" explicitly as an argument to display in MPE_Open_graphics like this :
  MPE_Open_graphics (&handle, my_comm, ":0.0", -1, -1, width, height, 0)
  
• Bignum Homepage
• An excellent beginner's guide on LAM/MPI can be found here. I personally found it extremely useful.
• The book Parallel Programming with MPI by Peter S Patcheco is really useful for learning various concepts in parallel programming. I read quite a few chapters from there for my assignments.
