With every smartphone and computer now boasting multiple processors, the use of functional ideas to facilitate parallel programming is becoming increasingly widespread. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data parallelism. In particular, you'll see how many familiar ideas from functional programming map perfectly to to the data parallel paradigm. We'll start the nuts and bolts how to effectively parallelize familiar collections operations, and we'll build up to parallel collections, a production-ready data parallel collections library available in the Scala standard library. Throughout, we'll apply these concepts through several hands-on examples that analyze real-world data, such as popular algorithms like k-means clustering.

Principales reseñas sobre PROGRAMACIÓN PARALELA
Very challenging course, the assignments are more about practising using parallel programming, would be better to design an assignment to implement the parallel programming.
At its begining, this training doesn't look as polished and refined as the previous ones animated by Martin Odersky, but it quickly catch up with very efficient lessons and great practice exercises.
Very good introduction to the topic. Examples and programming exercises were very good, although last assignment was visibly less polished than earlier ones.
This course introduce me to a new world of parallel programming! Must learn for whoever that want to expand the skill set of programming to the new level.
