Designed to study the basics of architecture and parallel programming technology of widespread MPP systems built on the basis of TMS320 transputers C40 or similar. In addition to the reference and methodological material, the methodology is described and options for individual tasks are offered for performing two laboratory works on a 4-processor system used in the educational process of the Department of Computer Systems and Technologies of MEPhI for about ten years. It is recommended to use in the study of the disciplines of “Programming Technology. Parallel programming" , "Architecture of Computer Systems" , "Signal and image processing" for students of groups K5-12v, C5-12s, K9-121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126 Faculty "Cybernetics" and groups B5-12 , B5-12p Evening Faculty , students in the specialty "Computers, Complexes, systems and networks" . It will also be useful to all students studying programming for multiprocessor computing systems.
