(Course no. 672025 in the training programme 2025 of Forschungszentrum Jülich)
This course will take place as an on-site and in-person event. It is not possible to attend online.
Contents:
An introduction to the parallel programming of supercomputers is given. The focus is on the usage of the Message Passing Interface (MPI), the most often used programming model for systems with distributed memory.
The three day course consist of lectures as well as practical tutorials on implementing the techniques presented in the course.
Topics covered:
- Fundamentals of Parallel Computing
- HPC system architectures
- shared and distributed memory concepts
- MPI
- basics
- point-to-point communication
