This repository consists of several elementary C++ exercises(a small part is about Python), selected from courses Algorithms and Paralleling Computation of Politecnico di Milano.

Linux operating system is recommended to use, because in some exercises we will use Message Passing Interface to realize parallel computing.

The installation of MPI on Linux is super easy:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

$ sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin openmpi-common libopenmpi-dev

Also, some exercises are based on Spark, in which we use the python package pyspark as the API; and the installation is also easy:

$ sudo pip install pyspark

But also remember to install Java 8 for ensuring PySpark going well.

$ sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless
