| Abstract |
|
|
The aim of these workshops is to give people who already have
some programming experience an introduction into the numerics of
linear solvers, computational fluid dynamics, 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.

Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics |
| Abstract |
The course deals with current numerical methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics.
The emphasis is placed on explicit finite volume methods for the compressible Euler equations.
Moreover outlooks on implicit methods, the extension to the Navier-Stokes equations and
turbulence modelling are given. Additional topics are classical numerical methods for
the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, Aeracoustics and high order
numerical methods for the solution of systems of partial differential equations.
The last day is dedicated to parallelization of explicit and implicit solvers.
Hands-on sessions will manifest the contents of the lectures.
The emphasis of these session is put on the application of CFD codes,
especially on grid generation, visualization and the interpretation of results.
Furthermore the implementation of algorithms presented in the lectures points up
the general structure of CFD codes.
The course is organized by the HLRS, the IAG and the University of Kassel.
It is based on the course "Numerical Gasdynamics" held at the IAG which has been awarded the
"Landeslehrpreis (prize for excellence in teaching) Baden-Württemberg 2003"
(held at Uni. Stuttgart, under auspices of the BMBF project
NUSS,

| Abstract |
Ziel des Kurses ist es, den Teilnehmern die Möglichkeiten
der aktuellen Multiteraflop NEC SX-8 Installation am HLRS
aufzuzeigen, und Ihnen
das Rüstzeug zu geben, Cluster aus Shared Memory Vektor Rechnern
in effizienter Art und Weise zu nutzen.
Die Konfiguration der Installation wird ebenso abgedeckt
wie Grundzüge der Vektorisierung.
Für erfahrene Vektorrechner Nutzer sind die SX spezifischen Methoden zur
Performance Messung und Analyse sowie die Bedienung der Compiler
und des Systems insbesondere für parallele Programme von Interesse.
Schwerpunkt des zweiten Tags ist die I/O und Optimierung von Anwendungsprogrammen
auf der SX-8.
Hierbei wird auch BLIS vorgestellt.
BLIS ist ein vektorisierender, linearer, iterativer Solver, der im Rahmen der
Teraflop Workbench zur Optimierung von Anwendungsprogrammen eingesetzt werden kann.
Dieser Workshop dient der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung im Bereich Computational
Science, aber auch dem wissenschaftlichen Austausch der Teilnehmer untereinander.
Seperate registration of individual days is possible.

2nd HLRS Parallel Tools Workshop
|
| Scientific Workshop as a Course |
Although this workshop is an scientific workshop at which tool-developers
present there tools and latest results, this workshop is also
designed as a course/tutorial for all users of such tools.
Especially the hands-on sessions will show how to use the newest features
of debugging and performance analysis tools in parallel programming.
|
| Abstract |
Developing for current and future processors will more and more require parallel
programming techniques for application and library programmers.
With the 1st Parallel Tools Workshop on July, 9th/10th, HLRS wants to offer its
industrial and scientific user community, as well as the tools developers itself
an in-depth workshop on the state-of-the-art of parallel programming tools,
ranging from debugging tools, performance analysis and best practices in
integrated developing environments for parallel platforms.
Participants and tools developers itself will get the chance to see the strengths
of the various tools, as the main technical persons behind these tools will meet.
Therefore, this workshop is focused on persons, that have participated previously,
e.g. in the Parallel programming workshops at HLRS, and are familiar with programming.
Additionally to high-quality presentations, the setting and organization of the
workshop leaves room for technical discussions and for establishing contacts.

Distributed memory parallelization with the Message Passing Interface MPI (for beginners) |
| Abstract |
On clusters and distributed memory architectures,
parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI)
is the dominating programming model.
The course gives an full introduction into MPI-1.
Further aspects are domain decomposition, load balancing, and debugging.
An MPI-2 overview and the MPI-2 one-sided communication is also taught.
Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users
to immediately test and understand the basic
constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI).
Course language is ENGLISH (if required).
This course is the first part (MPI for beginners) of a 5-day course program
and may be booked together with the other parts
G-b (OpenMP) and
G-c (advanced topics).

Shared memory parallelization with OpenMP (for beginners) |
| Abstract |
The focus is on shared memory parallelization with OpenMP,
the key concept on hyper-threading,
dual-core, multi-core, shared memory, and ccNUMA platforms.
This course teaches shared memory OpenMP parallelization.
Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users
to immediately test and understand the directives and
other interfaces of OpenMP.
Tools for performance tuning and debugging are presented.
Course language is ENGLISH (if required).
This course is the second part (OpenMP for beginners) of a 5-day course program
and may be booked together with the other parts
G-a (MPI for beginners) and
G-c (advanced topics).

Introduction to Unified Parallel C (UPC) and Co-array Fortran (CAF)
New course in 2008!
|
| Abstract |
Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) is a new model for parallel programming.
Unified Parallel C (UPC) and Co-array Fortran (CAF) are PGAS extensions to
C and Fortran.
Because UPC and CAF are language extensions, parallelism is part of the language
and not dependent upon library function calls as is MPI.
Also, since a PGAS language allows any processor to directly address memory/data
on any other processors, complex algorithms can be implemented more quickly
and easily, and this increases developer productivity.
This course gives an introduction to this novel approach of expressing parallelism.
Hands-on sessions (in UPC and/or CAF) will allow users
to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of PGAS languages.

Dr. Andrew A. Johnson
(Digital Rocket Science LLC, USA)
Dr. Johnson is a recognized expert in numerical simulation,
computational methods, and high performance and parallel computing.
He founded Digital Rocket Science LLC in 2007 in order to develop
advanced computational tools for the education, engineering, and scientific markets.
Before this he has served as a Senior Scientist at the Army High Performance Computing Research Center,
and had been with that organization for over a decade.
Using the Unified Parallel C PGAS language, Dr. Johnson has implemented
a unique and novel dynamic-mesh simulation method that can solve complex
fluid-structure interaction applications with moving components and changing
domain shapes. Using this technique, he has studied airdrop systems,
bio-medical, micro-air vehicles, and animal flight applications.
Without the aid of a PGAS language, it would be very difficult (if not impossible)
to study these applications with a dynamic-mesh method.
Dr. Johnson's company is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA) and currently
serves customers in the education and government sectors.

for them).
|
| Limit |

Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre.
If you want, you may also buy copies of the standards
MPI-1, MPI-2 and OpenMP (about 6 to 8 Euro each).
