Programming Language Courses

Abstract
The courses give an introduction into sequential programming.
Hands-on sessions will allow users to immediately test and understand what the basic constructs of the programming language are meant to do.

Dates

The courses in spring/fall 2009 are given with different focus and locations:

Course FORTRAN (LRZ): Jan.29-Feb.6, Garching, LRZ Introduction to modern Fortran and associated tools
(in German)
Course FORTRAN (1): Mar. 23-27, Stuttgart, HLRS Fortran for Scientific Computing
(in German)
Course FORTRAN (2): Oct. 26-30, Stuttgart, HLRS Fortran for Scientific Computing
(in German)
Online course: additional courses on parallel programming are available as an online-course with all slides and full audio information.
Lectures on parallel programming, see Parallel Programming Workshops 2009


Language

The course language is English (at LRZ) or German (at HLRS).
Slides and course materials are partially in English.

Course FORTRAN (LRZ) Location LRZ (Leibniz-Rechenzentrum), Neues LRZ Gebäude in Garching, Boltzmannstrasse 1, 85748 Garching
(nearby to Munich)
Date 2009, Thursday Jan. 29, 9:00 - Friday Feb. 6, 18:00
Local registration: On Monday 8:30 - 9:00
Content Introduction to modern Fortran and associated tools
Abstract This course is targeted at audiences with two levels of expertise: Participants with basic programming experience in C, C++ or Fortran should attend to the first two to three days of the course, while for participants with extensive Fortran 95 knowledge it will be sufficient to take part in the lectures covering the advanced Fortran features, according to individual interest.
Agenda The following items are covered, together with an estimate of the level of difficulty:
  • Days 1-2 (beginner to intermediate)
    Introduction to the important features of Fortran 95: Type system, arrays, pointers, memory management, expressions and assignment, control constructs, modules and procedures, specification statements, intrinsics
  • Days 3-4 (intermediate)
    Tools and Compilers: Make, SVN; usage of compilers, especially those from Intel and IBM; handling of libraries; the intrinsic modules of Fortran 2003: C interoperability and exception handling; Fortran I/O facilities and their optimal use
  • Days 5-7 (advanced)
    Introduction to Fortran 2003: Object orientation and its efficient use; some aspects of software design based on object orientation; parallel programming with Coarrays, a new concept scheduled for inclusion in the next Fortran standard.
The participants of the course have the opportunity to experiment with the lecture materials in hands-on sessions.

Content Fortran for Scientific Computing
Abstract This course is dedicated for scientists and students to learn (sequential) programming with Fortran of scientific applications. The course teaches newest Fortran standards. The beginners part is based on the RRZN handbook "Fortran 95". Hands-on sessions will allow users to immediately test and understand the language constructs. This workshop provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.

Agenda On Monday, the course starts with an introduction into programming with Fortran with small programming exercises that should help starting with programming. For more experienced participants, advanced exercises will be provided. Tuesday to Thursday, all major Fortran 95 methods are presented and tested in exercises. Performance issues are discussed. On Friday, Fortran development tools, an outlook to Fortran 2003 and further exercises are rounding up this course. The final agenda will be provided in the course.

Registration
deadline
Deadline is 4 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.
NO-SHOW: Registered persons that do not cancel or do not show up without any reasons are blocked for the next year on any of our workshops (because it is to expensive to produce unused copies of the slides for them).
Limit C++ course: maximum of 32 participants
C and Fortran course: maximum of 42 participants
(according to the seats in the rooms).
Handouts Each participant will get a script or a paper copy of all slides.
