VSC Training Course: Parallelization with MPI @ VSC Vienna

This course will be delivered as an ONLINE COURSE (using Zoom) for remote participation.

On clusters and distributed memory architectures, parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the dominating programming model. This 4 half-days course teaches parallel programming with MPI starting from a beginners level. Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI).

This course is organized by the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), TU Wien in cooperation with HLRS. It is based on the HLRS MPI course.

The updated agenda will be available shortly before the course starts.

Here is the preliminary course outline (for the originally planned 3 days face-to-face course).

Prerequisites and content levels

Prerequisites:

For the hands-on sessions you should know how to work on the Unix/Linux command line and be able to program in either C/C++ or Fortran.

Content levels:
  • Basic: 8 hours
  • Intermediate: 6 hours
  • Advanced: 2 hours

Learn more about course curricula and content levels.

Hands-on labs

For doing the hands-on labs all you need is a C/C++ or Fortran compiler and a recent MPI library. Participants can choose between using their own laptops or any system they have access to that provides these, it's even possible to do the exercises in Google Colab. Alternatively, participants can ask for a training user account at the VSC for the duration of the course.
