AIM
To learn the concepts of parallel processing and distributed computing bringing out the
differences among various architectures and systems.
OBJECTIVES
i To introduce parallel processing and parallel architectures
II. To introduce the concepts of shared memory based and thread based
implementations.
III. To learn the two modes of distributed computing using message passing and remote
procedure calls.
IV To learn introductory techniques of parallel debugging, and be introduced to other
parallel paradigms.
V. To introduce basic concepts of distributed data bases and distributed operating
systems.
