Before taking it serious (which I never did) learn OpenMP. Write some fun and interesting software with OpenMP so you can see how close to linear improvement you can get. Suggestion: make parallel mandelbrot renderer. After getting used to OpenMP, learn MPI. Basically the same roadmap, but now with a few computers spare.
I think that is enough to get your feet wet and learn if it is worth for you.
- the_only_law 5y agoI joked about the last advent of code, finding problems that could be parallelized and try to solve them with OpenMP. Sadly at the time I was stuck with a machine that had a god awful 2 core AMD CPU that struggled to browse the web.
