Presenter: Rolf Mertig
Rolf Mertig has used Mathematica extensively since 1990. He is the author of FeynCalc, a Mathematica package for high-energy physics. Mertig is a coauthor of the original version of AuthorTools. He has experience with webMathematica, front-end programming, and database connectivity through J/Link. His programming experience also includes Mathematica game programming and office automation with Mathematica using XML and OpenOffice.
Mertig has taught physics and Mathematica courses at universities in Germany, Mexico, and the Netherlands since 1990.
Our short online course provides an introduction to parallel and distributed programming in Mathematica. It discusses the underlying technology and core functions for developing parallel applications, and provides examples of the parallel development process. The course provides the necessary knowledge and understanding to explore the parallel capabilities of Mathematica, which are applicable both to the multiprocessor personal computer and the large-scale computer grid.
