Parallel Programming Workshops and Programming Language Courses 2012
|
| 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,

Cray XE6 Optimization Workshop
|
| Abstract |
HLRS installed HERMIT, a Cray XE6 system with AMD Interlagos processors
and a performance of 1 PFlop/s.
We strongly encourage you to port your applications to the
new architecture as early as possible.
To support such effort we invite current and future users
to participate in special Cray XE6 Optimization Workshops.
With this course, we will give all necessary information
to move applications from the current NEC SX-9, the Nehalem cluster,
or other systems to HERMIT.
HERMIT provides our users with a new
level of performance. To harvest this potential will require all our efforts.
We are looking forward to working with our users on these opportunities.
Monday-Wednesday, specialists from Cray will support you in
your effort porting and optimizing your application on our Cray XE6.
On Thursday, Georg Hager and Jan Treibig from RRZE will
present detailed information on optimizing codes
on the multicore AMD Interlagos processor.
HERMIT is available in Germany and Europe through this
link.

OpenACC Programming for Parallel Accelerated Supercomputers.
|
| Abstract |
This workshop will cover the programming environment of the Cray XK6
hybrid supercomputer, which combines multicore CPUs with GPU accelerators
(http://www.cray.com/Products/XK6).
Attendees will learn about the directive-based OpenACC programming model
(http://www.openacc-standard.org),
whose multi-vendor support allows users to portably develop applications
for parallel accelerated supercomputers.
The workshop will also demonstrate
how to use the Cray Programming Environment tools to identify CPU application
bottlenecks, facilitate the OpenACC porting, provide accelerated performance
feedback and to tune the ported applications. The Cray scientific libraries
for accelerators will be presented, and interoperability of OpenACC directives
with these and with CUDA will be demonstrated. Through application case studies
and tutorials, users will gain direct experience of using OpenACC directives
in realistic applications.
Users may also bring their own codes to discuss with Cray specialists or begin porting.

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.

Iterative Linear Solvers and Parallelization |
| Abstract |
The focus is on iterative and parallel solvers,
the parallel programming models MPI and OpenMP,
and the parallel middleware PETSc.
Thereby, different modern Krylov Subspace Methods
(CG, GMRES, BiCGSTAB ...) as well as highly efficient
preconditioning techniques are presented in the context
of real life applications.
Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users
to immediately test and understand the basic
constructs of iterative solvers, the Message Passing Interface (MPI)
and the shared memory directives of OpenMP.
This course is organized by LRZ, HLRS, Uni. Kassel, SFB/TRR30, and IAG.

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,
the German Research School for Simulation Sciences (GRS, RWTH Aachen), and
the Institute of Aerodynamics (AIA, 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).
The course is organized by GRS and AIA, RWTH Aachen.

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.)
