Exercise Content

Blackboard exercises will deepen and complement the lectures contents. Additional programming tasks facilitate practical experience on concurrent systems.

The programming tasks will cover the following topics:

  • Basic facilities for concurrency in native programming-languages.
    • clone, Pthreads, fork, OpenMP, C++11, Cilk, MPI, ...
  • Low-level problems of shared-memory parallelism, atomic operations, memory ordering, cache coherency.
  • Efficient thread-local variables.
  • Mutual exclusion and scalable locks: hardware and software based solutions.
  • Synchronization monitors, deadlock detection and prevention.
  • Non-blocking synchronization of data structures.
