Parallel Programming for Beginners: Wolfram U

via Wolfram U

Overview

Learn to determine which types of problems benefit most from parallel processing and how to apply the built-in functions to solve those problems. Manipulate kernel behaviors. Video class.

Summary
Learn about the fundamentals of parallelization and how parallel programming can be used to optimize CPU usage, making it possible to run multiple operations simultaneously. This video introduces the parallel computation architecture available in the Wolfram Language and discusses the basics of parallel programming.
