Parallel programming with OpenMP

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
