This book is intended to researchers and practitioners as a foundation of modern parallel computing with several important parallel applications, and to students as a basic or supplementary book for advanced courses on parallel computing. Fifteen chapters, on 519 pages, cover the most important issues of parallel computing, from basic principles through more complex theoretical problems and applications and to the future parallel approaches, including quantum computing. Each chapter is written in two levels, more general overview and more specific theory or practical example.

COBISS.SI-ID: 22692135Editorship of a thematic journal issue: Computer Vision and Image Understanding, on the topic Computer Vision Based Analysis in Sport Environments.
C.03 Guest-associated editor
COBISS.SI-ID: 7650132Based on our paper: TROBEC, Roman, ŠTERK, Marjan, ALMAWED, Said, VESELKO, Matjaž. Computer simulation of topical knee cooling. Comput. biol. med.. 2008, vol. 38, no. 10, str. 1076-1083, we agreed with the Belgian company Waegener, which is a leading developer and producer of the cryo-therapeutic devices in medicine, for a research project (1.2 FTE) for studying and developing new cooling methods. A future cooperation is foreseen in the area of computer simulation of cooling.
F.21 Development of new health/diagnostic methods/procedures
COBISS.SI-ID: 23557159The course covers basic issues of designing and implementing computer algorithms for the solution of partial differential equations (PDE). Numerical tools are presented including: domain discretization (structured, unstructured and meshless), interpolation/approximation, numerical integration and iterative solution methods linear systems. Parallel programming approaches and algorithms for listed methods are presented. After attending this course, students understand strengths and weaknesses of parallel computing and are able to develop their own parallel programs for scientific computing.
