This course is not currently scheduled.
Course Objective
This course provides an introduction to parallel computing with Mathematica.
Presenter
The course is presented by a Wolfram Research senior developer or a Wolfram Education Group certified instructor.
Target Audience
This course is designed for managers, developers, engineers, and scientists with an interest in using high-performance computing to solve difficult problems in mathematics, science, and engineering.
Delivery Type
This short course is given online in one three- to four-hour session.
Additional online training information is
available. All classes feature low student-teacher ratios.
Syllabus
- Demystifying the Grid
A brief history of parallel computing, and where Mathematica fits against this backdrop
- Running Mathematica in Parallel
A discussion of the process of launching and connecting to Mathematica kernels to take advantage of multiple processors or cores in your working environment
- Parallel Functionality in Mathematica
A discussion of ParallelMap, ParallelTable, and ParallelEvaluate, the core constructs for parallel Mathematica development
- From Serial to Parallel by Example
Examples that walk through the parallel development process in Mathematica
Course Materials
Each attendee will be provided with Mathematica course notebooks
and access to the current version of Mathematica. The course
notebooks require Mathematica or Wolfram CDF Player. For
attendees participating in classroom-based sessions, course materials are
distributed in print and on CD-ROM, and are yours to keep; a
computer running Mathematica is available for your use during
class. For attendees participating in online classes, a download
of the course materials is provided; a temporary Mathematica training license is provided upon request; a multicore computer is required.
Prerequisites
Course attendees are expected to have basic familiarity with
Mathematica approximately equivalent to that provided by "M101: A First Course
in Mathematica" and "M221: Introduction to Programming in Mathematica." Online classes require that attendees have Mathematica 7 installed on a multi-core computer.
