PARALLEL_MATLAB_2010
Introduction to Parallel MATLAB at Virginia Tech

These slides are part of the presentation materials for a short course on parallel MATLAB, as implemented on the Ithaca computer system.

The short course was taught by John Burkardt (Information Technology Department) and Gene Cliff (Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering) sponsored by Virginia Tech's Advanced Research Computing (ARC) facility, and presented through the Faculty Development Institute (FDI).

A PDF version is available in ../../presentations/parallel_matlab_2010.pdf.
