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.
This course is the first part (MPI for beginners) of a 5-day course program
and may be booked together with the other parts
PAR-OMP (OpenMP) and
PAR-ADV (advanced topics).

| PRACE PATC |
HLRS is part of the
Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), which is one of the six
PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATCs) that started in
Feb. 2012.
The mandate for the PATCs is as follows:
"The PRACE Advanced Training Centres will serve as European hubs of advanced,
world-class training for researchers working in the computational sciences."
(see D3.2.3)
This course is a PATC course, see also the PRACE Training
Portal and
Events.
For participants from public research institutions in PRACE countries,
the course fee is sponsored through the PRACE PATC program.

| Social Events |
Am Montag planen wir zuerst eine Stadtführung durch die Stuttgarter Innenstadt.
Im Anschluss gibt es ein gemeinsames Abendessen in Stuttgarts erster Lokalbrauerei,
dem "Calwer Eck" (schwäbische Küche). Herr Prof. Meister wird voraussichtlich
ebenfalls daran teilnehmen.
Am Dienstag sei ein Besuch der Neuen Staatsgalerie empfohlen (Di/Do bis 20:00 geöffnet).
Die Sammlung moderner Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts ist wirklich sehenswert.
Spaß macht auch ein abendlicher Besuch des Stuttgarter Fernsehturms. Er ist sowohl der
erste Stahlbetonturm, als auch der erste Fernsehturm der Welt.
Die Social Events sind auf Selbstkostenbasis, also nicht in eventuellen Kursgebüren enthalten.
Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie daran teilnehmen möchten.

NO-SHOW:
Registered persons that do not cancel and 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).

| Handouts |
Each participant will get a paper copy of all slides.
The MPI-1 part of the course is based on the MPI course developed by the
