Concurrent Programming - CE326

• Project1
  • FIFO Pipe

    We implemented a FIFO pipe to be used as a means of communication between two threads

  • Parallel Fractal Computation

    We parallelized the Mandelbrot set fractal algorithm

  • Parallel Quicksort Algorithm

    We parallelized the Quicksort algorithm

• Project2

  We implemented a binary semaphore library using pthread mutexes. Then, we used it to achieve thread synchronization in three problems:

  • the Parallel Fractal Computation Problem
  • the Single-Lane Bridge Problem
  • the Roller Coaster Problem

• Project3

  We implemented a Conditional Critical Regions (CCR) library using pthread mutexes and pthread condition variables. Then, we reassessed the three synchronization problems from Project2 using:

  • pthread conditional variables
  • our CCR library

• Project4

  We implemented an interpreter for a simple programming language that supports basic arithmetic operations between variables, as well as load, store, branch and jump operations. Moreover, we extended the execution environment in order to support multithreading. We also implemented semaphores, so that multiple programs running concurrently can be synchronized.
