Developed a simulation of a tennis game matching server where multiple players send requests for games: singles, doubles, male, female, or mixed.
Utilized OpenMP threads to handle client requests and MPI calls for player communication.
Managed the availability of limited tennis courts (4 courts) to continuously match players’ requests.
Completed as part of the Parallel and Distributed Course at IIT Gandhinagar.
