Current parallel programming languages/libraries

From modern smartphones/tablets to desktop computers and supercomputers, all systems today use multiple CPUs in order to offer as much performance as efficiently as possible. Unfortunately, the step towards more parallelism is not transparent for developers, so they have to specify the parallelism explicitly. In this project, you will learn a new programming language/library that allows you to write parallel programs. You will use this programming language to implement a series of small problems, which will then be compared with the solutions of the other participants (in a different language). Attendance at the seminar of the same name is not compulsory, but is recommended. During the seminar, you can present the language you have learned in this project and present the results you have produced.

Requirements
Basic knowledge of parallel programming is recommended, but not essential.

Participants
Students on the Diploma, Bachelor's or Master's degree course in Computer Science from the 5th semester and other interested parties.
