====== Labs ======

The aim of labs is to familiarize students with the design and implementation of parallel algorithms and to practice the theory from lectures. The tasks are proposed in a way that enables to test/debug/run them on conventional computers. For the purpose of computationally demanding experiments, we arranged the access to [[https://www.metacentrum.cz/|Metacentrum]].

Attendance at labs is not compulsory with exception of lab 14. However, the attendance is strongly recommended. Our goal is to improve students' knowledge of parallel algorithms, not just to record presence.
