Parallel Programming Workshop (MPI, OpenMP and Advanced Topics)

see link to detailed program (preliminary)

Prerequisites:

Unix / C or Fortran. For days 3-5, the first two beginners days or equivalent knowledge is required. If you register only for days 3-5, we reserve the right to send you a small test to check whether such participation on only days 3-5 is possible. 

To be able to do the hands-on exercises of this course, you need a computer with an OpenMP capable C/C++ or Fortran compiler and a corresponding, up-to-date MPI library (in case of Fortran, the mpi_f08 module is required). Please note that the course organizers will not grant you access to an HPC system nor any other compute environment. Therefore, please make sure to have a functioning working environment / access to an HPC cluster prior to the course. In case of questions, please contact the course organizer (see below). 

Please tar -xvzf TEST.tar.gz using https://fs.hlrs.de/projects/par/events/TEST.tar.gz  or unzip TEST.zip using https://fs.hlrs.de/projects/par/events/TEST.zip and verify your MPI and OpenMP installation with the tests described in TEST/README.txt within the archive.

Content levels:

• Basic: 14 hours
• Intermediate: 12 hours
• Advanced: 10 hours 30 minutes
• Community: 45 minutes
