 ==== Aim of the Course ====
 The course will provide a description and analysis of a few key parallel and distributed programming platforms and models, starting from their theoretical foundations, where not covered by previous courses, and focusing on (1) existing standards for platforms and programming systems and (2) State-of-the-art solutions. The course will include  practical use of those systems to develop simple applications.
-  * See the presentation slides [[http://backus.di.unipi.it/~marcod/MCSN/Slides2016/Coppola-SPD.pdf|here]] on the C.S. Dept. website.
+^ **The overall program reported below is a preliminary one** |
+  - The course this year will be more flexible in the topics and in the definition of the students' projects.
+  - Specific topics can be expanded according to the interest of the students,
+  - Interdisciplinary projects proposed by the student will be evaluated for the final assignment.

+=== Books ===
+  * Latest **MPI Standard** from [[https://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/| MPI Forum]]\\The course mostly relies on MPI 3.1, 2015 features, and of those only some parts are needed, that we will specify during the lessons. Please always check the related MPI standard errata.\\ On the [[http://www.mpi-forum.org/|MPI forum web site]] you will find //alternate formattings//  and //translations// of the same material.
+  * **M. Voss, J. Reinders -  Today's TBB (C++ Parallel Programming with Threading Building Blocks)**.\\ Springer Open access book available at [[https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/979-8-8688-1270-5|Today's TBB]]

+  * **B. Wilkinson, M. Allen -- Parallel Programming**, 2nd edition. 2005, Prentice-Hall.\\ It is available in the University Library of Math/Comp.Sc./Physiscs, under code C.1.2 w74 INF .
+  * **Michael Mc Cool, Arch D. Robinson and James Reinders -- Structured Parallel Programming (patterns for Efficient Computation)** 2012, Morgan Kaufmann. \\ Chapters 1 to 3 cover background topics which should be already known from previous courses (SPA, SPD courses). Stundents need to focus on the TBB material throughout the book: Appendix C and D, and the TBB examples in the book that appendix C references from chapters 4, 5, 8 and 9. Check also Chapter 11 on k-means.

+  * //Alternate book:// An introduction to TBB is also found in //James Reinders -- Intel Threading Building Blocks// 2007, O'Reilly Media.\\ More focused on TBB alone, but describes a quite old release of the framework, hence you need to look at online documentation for some of the features.
