VMath - The Next Generation for Math Lectures on Streaming Video

Abstract:

Many parallel computational algorithms involve dividing the problem into several smaller tasks and running each task in isolation in parallel. Often these tasks are the same procedure over a set of varying parameters. Inter-process communication might not be needed, but the results of one task may influence what subsequent tasks need to be performed. I will discuss the concept of job generators, or custom-written tasks that generate other tasks and process their feedback. I would discuss this specifically in the context of integer factorization.
