Parallel Programming Workshops and Programming Language Courses 2010
|
| 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,

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 approaches 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.

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 developed by the HLRS,
the Institute of Aerodynamics and Gasdynamics (IAG, University of Stuttgart),
the University of Kassel,
and the German Research School for Simulation Sciences (GRS, RWTH Aachen).
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).

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 approaches 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.)

GPU Programming using CUDA
|
| Abstract |
The course provides an introduction to the programming language CUDA
which is used to write fast numeric algorithms for
NVIDIA graphics processors (GPUs). Focus is on the basic usage of the
language, the exploitation of the most important features of the device
(massive parallel computation, shared memory, texture memory) and
efficient usage of the hardware to maximize performance. An overview of
the available development tools and the advanced features of the language
is given.
