Parallel Programming with MPI, OpenMP and Tools

The focus is on programming models MPI and OpenMP. Hands-on sessions (in C, Fortran, and Python) will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the shared memory directives of OpenMP (in C and Fortran). The Thursday is dedicated to tools. This course provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.  It is organized by ZIH in cooperation with HLRS.

Visit of Semper Opera and social events

On the first evening you will be taken on a free short guided tour of Dresden's Old Town. Afterwards, we have reserved a table in an "affordable" restaurant for a small dinner together (self-pay).
On Thursday, March 20, we are organizing a visit to Le nozze di Figaro at the famous Semper Opera House. You should not miss it, although the number of tickets is limited. The social events are on a self-pay basis. For more information about booking this social event, please visit the registration page for this course.

Language

The course language is English.

Handout

Each participant will get access to the pdf of all slides.
The MPI-1 part of the course is based on the MPI course developed by the EPCC Training and Education Centre, Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre.
An older version of this course with most of the material (including the audio information) can also be viewed in the Self-Study Materials.
