Introduction to aCe We use this tutorial as a means of introducing a new parallel programming language called aCe C. Contrary to what one might expect, the purpose of the tutorial is not to teach yet another programming language; instead, we use aCe to expound on parallel computing in general. The tutorial in no way assumes to be a comprehensive guide to parallel computing. Instead, we give a brief introduction of parallel processing and then use aCe to show the details of a specific parallel programming language.
