Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart: One-Sided Communication and the MPI Shared Memory Interface

Program

In the first week, you will get an overview and learn about the principles of one-sided communication. In the second week, we will provide more details, examples and excercises of one-sided communication.

This course will cover:

MPI one-sided communication
Window creation and allocation
Remote Memory Access (RMA) routines
Synchronization calls
Shared memory within MPI (programming model and usage)
Memory models and fast synchronization for MPI shared memory
Examples and exercise

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

Apply MPI one-sided communication to your communication patterns in your MPI applications
Explain the main advantages and disadvantages of MPI one-sided communication and MPI shared memory
Design your program using methods of MPI communication that prevent deadlocks and ensure a correct program
Improve scalability of your program by substituting non-scalable solutions with scalable one-sided approaches
