Parallel Programming with MPI, OpenMP and Tools

The focus is on programming models MPI and OpenMP. Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the shared memory directives of OpenMP. The last part 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

On Wednesday March 29, we organize for interested participants a visit of the Opera Le nozze di Figaro / The Marriage of Figaro in the famous Semper Opera (with German and English supertitles). You should not miss it, although the number of tickets is limited. The social events are on a self-paying basis. For more information on booking this social event see the registration page of this course.

Handout

Each participant will get a pdf copy 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 ONLINE Parallel Programming Workshop.
