Three Things You must Teach about Parallel Programming: Module 2. Shared Memory and Threads (pt.1)


Module 2 of a 3 part series on introducing parallelism to undergraduates. In this module, Dr. Clay Breshears of Intel Software College discusses Shared Memory and Threads.


At the end of this module you should be able to:

  • Describe the shared-memory model of parallel programming
  • Describe the differences between the fork/join model and the general threads model
  • Demonstrate how to implement domain and functional decompositions using threads
  • Decide whether a variable in a multithreaded program should be shared or private
