As computer hardware becomes more and more parallel, there is a need for software
engineers who are experienced in develo** parallel programs, not only by “parallelizing” …

The APGAS programming model is a powerful computing paradigm for multi-core and
massively parallel computer architectures. It allows for the dynamic creation and distribution …

Programmability is one of the key challenges of Exascale Computing. Using the actor model
for distributed computations may be one solution. The actor model separates computation …

Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) is included in the Computer Science Curriculum
2013 from ACM and IEEE Computer Science and hence required for ABET Computer …

We present an efficient Finite Volume solver for the shallow water equations using an actor
extension of the X10 programming language, ActorX10, as programming model. Each actor …

The study of ocean currents has been an active area of research for decades. As a model
close to the water surface, the shallow water equations (SWE) can be used. For realistic …

The growing need for computational performance is resulting in an increase in the energy
consumption of HPC systems, which is a major challenge to reach Exascale computing. To …

Emerging technologies and increased computing resources challenge the universities to
establish learning environments, where the students will learn to efficiently utilize multicore …

We present an X10 software package for the solution of the shallow water equations, a set of
equations commonly used to simulate tsunami and flooding events. The software uses an …

We have recently developed and implemented an E-learning and Benchmarking Platform
for the Parallel and Distributed Computing Course. Although this platform reduced the …
