Parallel Programming Workshop

Abstract
The aim of these workshops is to give people who already have some programming experience an introduction into the numerics of linear solvers and the basics of parallel programming. The focus is on iterative solvers, the programming models MPI and OpenMP, domain decomposition, load balancing and parallel numerics. Language support is given for Fortran, C and C++.
Message Passing with MPI is the major programming model on large distributed-memory systems in high-performance computing. OpenMP is dedicated to shared memory systems.
Hands-on sessions will allow users to immediately test linear solver programming and to understand what the basic constructs of MPI and OpenMP are meant to do.

Dates

The workshops in spring/fall 2003 are given with different focus and locations:

Course A: Feb. 12-14, Dresden, ZHR MPI and OpenMP (in German)
Course B: Feb. 24-28, Stuttgart, HLRS Iterative Linear Solver and Parallelization
(in German)
Course C: Mar. 24-28, Stuttgart, HLRS Advanced topics in high performance computing
and parallel programming
(in German)
Course D: Sep. 15-19, Stuttgart, HLRS MPI and OpenMP for beginners
and advanced topics in high performance computing
(in English)
Online course: the parallel programming workshop is also available as an online-course with all slides and full audio information.
Further courses: see online-course / end of page


Language

The course language is German (except the course Sep. 15-19 at HLRS, which is in English if required).
All slides and course materials are in English (except slides of A. Meister and B. Fischer).

Registration
deadline 		Deadline is two weeks before the beginning of each course, late registration after the deadline is possible, but not recommended, because printing of the handouts starts at this deadline.
Cancelation policy If you cannot come to the course, please send an email to the organizer as soon as possible. This would allow us to accept additional participants from the waiting-list. There is no cancelation fee.
Limit maximum of 42 participants in each course
Travel-Info (see below)
Hotel Reservation to be done directly at the hotel or via the tourist-agency, see Travel-Info below.
Handouts Each participant will get a paper copy of all slides.
