课程概述

With every smartphone and computer now boasting multiple processors, the use of functional ideas to facilitate parallel programming is becoming increasingly widespread. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data parallelism. In particular, you'll see how many familiar ideas from functional programming map perfectly to to the data parallel paradigm. We'll start the nuts and bolts how to effectively parallelize familiar collections operations, and we'll build up to parallel collections, a production-ready data parallel collections library available in the Scala standard library. Throughout, we'll apply these concepts through several hands-on examples that analyze real-world data, such as popular algorithms like k-means clustering. Learning Outcomes. By the end of this course you will be able to: - reason about task and data parallel programs, - express common algorithms in a functional style and solve them in parallel, - competently microbenchmark parallel code, - write programs that effectively use parallel collections to achieve performance Recommended background: You should have at least one year programming experience. Proficiency with Java or C# is ideal, but experience with other languages such as C/C++, Python, Javascript or Ruby is also sufficient. You should have some familiarity using the command line. This course is intended to be taken after Functional Program Design in Scala: https://hua.dididi.sbs/learn/progfun2....

The course is fairly advanced and you would need to review the materials many times to understand the concept. The assignments are definitely fun and not as straightforward as other courses.

Superb study material. Learnt a lot during this course. I am not much into mathematical stuff, but got a hang of how to break problems and improve efficiency through parallelism.

I learned a lot about parallel processing algorithms, way more than I expected. Even after spending over 10 years programming parallel data processing.

Week 2 assignment was very interesting, thanks. Week 4 assignment was extremely hard to debug. Could you perhaps add more unit tests to BarnesHutSite?

A very good course, the theories are explained well in the lectures and the assignments cover the learned information without being too difficult

Very good introductory theoretical foundation for parallell algorithms, and background for

the Big Data Analysis with Scala and Spark course.

very good course. It will be better if more reading material could be offered. The content in the lecture is a little bit hard to understand.

I learned a lot about improving algorithms to run in a parallelized manner which is more efficient when having more than one cpu/computers

More emphasis on Parallel Data Structures is needed, course is relatively simple as compared to previous courses from same specialisation

Wish Mr. Odersky would've taught this course as well but it quickly lived up to my expectations. I really enjoyed doing the assignments.

Very interesting material, especially the prefix sum algorithms about, how to transform a sequential problem into a parallel problem.

Good course, though there is sometimes too much mathematics, what distracts from the purpose to learn parallel paradigm in Scala.

Very interesting, with difficult examples and task. Spent a lot of time analyzing weekly assignments but it was totally worth.

It's an interesting and useful course, but I was surprised it's not contain any information about Futures and Promises.

This course is not simple, and the second assignment is hard. But I made it through, and happy with the achievement.

Great course -- I learned a lot.

Parts of it were very heavy too, and not all of the lecture material was examined.

Quite interesting but sometimes I would have spent some minutes more to explain some core concept.

Great Course. The details are quite the right amount, but more exercise could have been included.
