| 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,

NEC SX-8 and SX-9 Usage and Programming
|
Overview on NEC SX-8 and SX-9 at HLRS, usage, vectorization, parallelization and performance optimization |
|
Filesystems and I/O on NEC SX, BLIS, a vectorized, linear iterative solver,
and optimization hints based on experience in the Teraflop Workbench |
|
| Abstract |
Ziel des Kurses ist es, den Teilnehmern die Möglichkeiten der
neuen NEC SX-9 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.
I/O und Optimierung von Anwendungsprogrammen auf der SX-9 runden
das Thema ab.
Ein Schwerpunkt am ersten Nachmittag sind die Unterschiede
zwischen dem Vorgängersystem NEC SX-8 und der neuen NEC SX-9.
The participants learn about the configuration of the
NEC SX-9 system at HLRS and how to use this cluster of
vectorizing shared memory nodes. One focus is
an introduction in vectorization. More experienced users
can learn how to optimize programs based on performance
measurements. Additional topics are I/O and the
optimization of application programs.
The first afternoon is focused on the differences between
the predecessor system and the new NEC SX-9.
Seperate registration of individual days is possible.

Introduction to Unified Parallel C (UPC) and Co-array Fortran (CAF)
|
| 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.
UPC and CAF are language extensions to C and Fortran.
Parallelism is part of the language.
PGAS languages allow any processor to directly address memory/data on any other
processors.
Parallelism can be expressed more easily compared to library
based approches as MPI.
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.

3rd ZIH/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.
The Parallel Tools Workshop wants to offer the
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.
This workshop is organized together by ZIH and HLRS.

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,
contract 08NM227).

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).

Introduction to Unified Parallel C (UPC) and Co-array Fortran (CAF)
|
| 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.
UPC and CAF are language extensions to C and Fortran.
Parallelism is part of the language.
PGAS languages allow any processor to directly address memory/data on any other
processors.
Parallelism can be expressed more easily compared to library
based approches as MPI.
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.
(This course has the same content as the course in spring.)
