Welcome to Aalto 2023 spring — Aalto University course CS-E4580 Programming Parallel Computers, spring 2023, self-study version!
This is a self-study version of the Aalto University course CS-E4580 Programming Parallel Computers. If you are interested in taking part in the self-study version, please inform Jukka Suomela first, then solve the tasks on your own (please note the deadlines!), and finally ask Jukka Suomela to grade your solutions. If you would like to get some help from the course staff, please enroll for the standard version of the course (organized in period V).
You can try to solve the following exercises. For full points, please submit your solution before the deadline; for partial points you can still try to submit until the course ends. Resubmissions are always safe; you will never lose points if you resubmit something (but if you resubmit after the deadline, you will not get full points that way, either).

“Points” — the points scored by your submissions according to automatic grading, or the amount given by our course staff after manual review.
“Rec.” = recommended path — while you are free to solve any of the exercises in any order, we suggest that you try to solve at least these exercises.
“Rating” — an approximate indication of how much effort is needed for getting full points in each exercise. 1-star problems are easy to solve without too much effort, typically with less than 100 lines of code. 2-star problems may require a careful application of the ideas presented in the course material and plenty of experimentation, and a solution is typically more than 100 lines of code. 3-star problems are small research projects. Please note that in many of the exercises it is often much easier to get some points than full points.
This course is graded as follows:
