Parallelization with MPI and OpenMP

Dive into the world of high-performance computing with our hands-on workshop, focusing on the programming models MPI and OpenMP. Gain practical experience with Message Passing Interface (MPI) basics in C, Fortran, or Python and shared memory directives of OpenMP through interactive sessions in C or Fortran. This course provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves. This course is organized by the by the NHR-SW in cooperation with HLRS.

The preliminary course outline can be found here (PDF download).

Handout

Each participant will get a 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 HLRS self-study materials.
