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.

| 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.
|
| Train the Trainer - TtT |
In conjunction with this course, a
Train the Trainer Program
is provided.
Whereas this regular course teaches parallel programming,
the "Train the Trainer" program is an education for future trainers in parallel programming.
For further details, see
here.
|
| Social Events |
At the first or second evening we schedule a short guided walk through the city
followed by a dinner Stuttgart's first restaurant-brewery,
the "Calwer Eck" (Swabian restaurant).
On Wednesday, we plan to organize a visit in our 3-D visualization CAVE.
At (Tuesday or) Thursday, a visit of the exhibition of contemporary art in the "New States Gallery"
is recommended (opened until 8pm).
Also fun is a visit of Stuttgart's TV-tower in the evening.
It is the first tower build of concrete in the world, and also the first TV tower in the world.
If you arrive already on Sunday morning, you may visit the world class
Mercedes Museum.
All social events are on a self paying basis, i.e., not part of any course fees.
We would be happy if you can join these events.

| 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 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).
|
| Limit |
maximum of
42 participants in Stuttgart and Kassel,
35 in Dresden and Aachen,
34 in Garching,
26 in Jülich,
20 an der TUHH
(according to the seats in the rooms). |
| 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
EPCC
Training and Education Centre,
Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre.
If you want, you may also buy copies of the standards
MPI-3.0 (Hardcover, 17 Euro) and OpenMP 3.1 (about 8 Euro).
Most material of the course (including the audio information)
can also be viewed in the
ONLINE Parallel Programming Workshop.
