Some of the tools developed in the project have been used in an Introductory course on Parallel Programming (3rd year.120 students per semester, 2 semesters per academic year) at the Computer Science Degree, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). The laboratory sessions for the course make use of the Tareador tool to visualize the task dependence graph and Dimemas to predict different task parallelization strategies. Students use the environment with 5 different applications (numerical and non-numerical): FFT3D (introductory example to learn the environment and API), Mandelbrot (embarrassingly parallel, different granularities), heat simulation (using different solvers – Jacobi, Red-Black and Gauss-Seidel – with different task interactions), multisort (recursive, divide and conquer) and Sudoku (recursive, branch and bound). The course also included a brief introduction to the OmpSs programming model, with optional material for the students. The material distributed to students to do the laboratory assignments can be downloaded from the following tar file.
