CSC 5001– High Performance Systems

The objective of the project is to design the parallel simulation of the game of life on a target architecture (machine clusters, multicore machines, heterogeneous heterogeneous machines integrating CPU and GPU) starting from its sequential sequential version using the classical tools of parallelism parallelism (in this case OpenMP, MPI, CUDA), using the EasysPAP environment.

You are asked to return the source code of your parallelized programs, a report, as well as the slides used during the defense. Beyond the gain in performance, the objective of the project is that you follow a scientific approach. Thus, your report, in the form of a PDF file, must contain the main parts of your code, the justification for any optimizations, the experimental conditions and the graphs obtained, each described and analyzed. The report is directly placed at the root of your csc5001-easypap-se git project. The defense, representative of your report, lasts 15 min + 10 min of questions. It at least presents how you parallelized the application, presents and explains the measured performances.
