A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance as compared to a general-purpose computer. In this project we get to know the architectur of this computers by building a parallel systems that allow us to do Parallel computing.

We used differents architecturs in this project : shared memory, distributed memory and distributed file systems.

The Mandelbrot set is the set of complex numbers c for which the function f(z)=z*z+c does not diverge when iterated from z=0, for which the sequence f(0),f(f(0)),f(f(0)), etc., remains bounded in absolute value. We used parallel computing to determine this set.

The programme is written with C using differents librarys and apis (POSIX, OPENMP, MPI)

The report presents all the work that we did in details (in french)
