Quick overview of parallel programming frameworks

Here we give you a brief overview of various parallel programming tools. Our goal here is not to learn how to use these tools, but rather tell you at a high level what these tools do, so that you understand the difference between shared- and distributed-memory parallel programming models and know which tools you can use for each. Later, in the scheduler session, you will use this knowledge to submit parallel jobs to the queue.

Feel free to skip some of these videos if you are not interested in parallel programming.
