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.

Social event

On the first evening, we invite you to a short guided tour of Dresden's historic old town (approx. 1 hour, free of charge). Afterward, we have reserved seats at a restaurant directly in the old town (self-paid).
On Thursday, March 18, 2027, we are organizing a joint evening at Restaurant Max Altstadt. We hope you will be able to join us for these evening events.

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.
