Parallelization with MPI and OpenMP @ MAINZ

Prerequisites

Unix / C or Fortran

If you have a user account on Mogon at the University of Mainz, you can use this account for the exercises.

Without such an account, you need to have your own programming environment, e.g., on your system, i.e., 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.

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.

The exercise about race-condition detection is optional. It would requires an installation of a race-condition detection tool, e.g., the Intel Inspector together with the Intel compiler.

A few days before the course starts, you will receive pdf files from the slides and tar/zip files for installing the exercises on your system. 

An older version of this course with most of the material (including the audio information) can also be viewed in the ONLINE Parallel Programming Workshop
