====== 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, however, it is strongly recommended. Our goal is to improve students' knowledge of parallel algorithms, not just to record presence.
