Parallel programming with OpenMP
Michael Knobloch, Jan Andre Reuter
(Course no. 692025 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 OpenMP, which is often used on shared-memory architectures.
The first four days of the course consist of lectures and short exercises. A fifth day is devoted to demonstrating the use of MPI and OpenMP in a larger context. To this end, starting from a simple but representative serial algorithm, a parallel version will be designed and implemented using the techniques presented in the course.
Topics covered:
- Fundamentals of Parallel Computing
- HPC system architectures
- shared and distributed memory concepts
- OpenMP
- basics
- parallel construct
- data sharing
- loop work sharing
- task work sharing
- Hybrid programming
- Tools
