Abstract:- The paper presents an educational software package, implemented in Java which shows and analyzes through visual simulation some well known sequential and parallel algorithms. It was study the memory access for PRAM model and some known algorithms for PRAM model. It was analyze also the most know sorting algorithms and the main graph algorithms in both variants sequential and parallel. It was also performed a comparative study between a classic sequential algorithm and a parallel algorithm in terms of execution times. The software is very useful to both students and teachers because the computer science especially computer programming is difficult to understand for most students.
