Tutorial to obtain productivity with parallel computing using MATLAB. 
Students might be starting to use a parallel computer and/or have little 
knowledge of parallel programming.  Participation is limited. Preference 
will be given to MIT students and researchers who already have an 
application in MATLAB's m language that they are hoping to parallelize.

Please email Professor Edelman (edelman at math.mit.edu) and describe your 
hopes.  Ideal project characteristics: Large and/or complex model that 
would lend itself to parallel programming.  Prefer a familiar desktop tool 
like MATLAB, over using C++ and MPI for parallel programming.  The 
tutorial will be hands-on.  Every student will have access to Interactive 
Supercomputing's Star-P. Interactive Supercomputing is an MIT spinoff.


 			Limited enrollment.
