The next
bus station is
"Technische Universität, Dresden" (4 min on foot, ehemals "Fritz-Foerster-Platz, Dresden").
Accomodation:
Close to the ZIH (15 min on foot) you find the
guest house "Gästehaus Am Weberplatz"
of the Dresden University of Technology, early reservation is recommended.
The next
bus station is
"Zellescher Weg, Dresden"
(map).
Touristic hints:
I recommend to arrive at Dresden early, e.g., Sunday or Saturday morning.
The Green Vault (Grünes Gewölbe)
in Dresden is the historical museum
collection of the former treasury of the Wettin princes of the Renaissance to Classicism
and the largest collection of treasures in Europe.
I recommend to buy the
ticket
for the "Historisches Grünes Gewölbe" in advance and to reserve enough time for staying in the exhibition.
You must not come late, because it is a time-ticket.
The "Neues Grünes Gewölbe" is a second part of the exibition on the second floor (separate normal ticket).
You should not miss these two exhibitions and the visit of the Semper Opera (see above).
For further highlights, e.g., see this
online tourist guide.

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.
This course provides scientific training in Computational Science,
and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.
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,

OpenACC Programming for Parallel Accelerated Supercomputers -- an alternative to CUDA from Cray perspective.
|
Abstract |
This workshop will cover the programming environment of the Cray XK7
hybrid supercomputer, which combines multicore CPUs with GPU accelerators
(http://www.cray.com/Products/Computing/XK7.aspx).
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.
This workshop provides scientific training in Computational Science,
and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.

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.
It provides scientific training in Computational Science,
and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.

7th 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.

Parallel Programming Workshop:
Distributed and shared memory parallelization with MPI and OpenMP |
Abstract |
Distributed memory parallelization with the Message Passing Interface MPI (Mon+Tue, for beginners):
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).
Shared memory parallelization with OpenMP (Wed, for beginners):
The focus is on shared memory parallelization with OpenMP,
the key concept on hyper-threading,
dual-core, multi-core, shared memory, and ccNUMA platforms.
This course teaches shared memory OpenMP parallelization.
Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users
to immediately test and understand the directives and
other interfaces of OpenMP.
Race-condition debugging tools are also presented.
Advanced topics in parallel programming (Thu+Fri):
Topics are MPI-2 parallel file I/O,
hybrid mixed model MPI+OpenMP parallelization,
MPI-3.0,
parallelization of explicit and implicit solvers
and of particle based applications, parallel numerics and libraries,
and parallelization with PETSc.
MPI-3.0 introduced a new shared memory programming interface,
which can be combined with MPI message passing and remote memory access
on the cluster interconnect. It can be used for direct neighbor accesses
similar to OpenMP or for direct halo copies, and enables new hybrid programming models.
These models are compared in the hybrid mixed model MPI+OpenMP parallelization session
with various hybrid MPI+OpenMP approaches and pure MPI.
Hands-on sessions are included on all days.
This course provides scientific training in Computational Science,
and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.
