MPI Course Spring 2011
From C3SE
C3SE is hosting a course on message passing with MPI. The course is given by Joachim Hein, SNIC parallel expert based at Lunarc and is open for all SNIC-users.
Message passing with MPI
Message Passing is presently the most widely deployed programming model in parallel high performance computing. Message passing is suitable for programming a wide range of current computer architectures, ranging from multi-core desk top equipment to the fastest HPC systems in the world, offering several hundred thousand processing elements.
The course is at the beginners level and assumes no prior experience in parallel computing. The concepts behind message passing and distributed memory computing will be introduced and the syntax of the key MPI calls will be explained. The course will include point-to-point communications, non-blocking communication and the collective communications calls. Practical sessions to deepen the understanding of the lectures will be part of the course. At the end of the course participants should be able to write their own MPI programs at an intermediate level. The teaching language will be English.
Pre-requisites:
Participants should be able to write simple programs in either of C or Fortran. For the practical sessions, there will be workstations available, but participants can also choose to bring their own laptop computers.
