Design patterns can systematically identify reusable elements in software engineering, and have been particularly effective in codifying practice in object-oriented software. A team of researchers centered at UC Berkeley’s Parallel Computing Laboratory continues to investigate a design pattern approach to parallel software; the effort has matured to the point that an undergraduate course was delivered on the topic in Fall 2010. This talk will briefly describe the pattern language itself, then demonstrate its application in examples from both image processing and game design.
