Content |
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.
(This course has the same content as the course in spring.)
