HPC2N
High Performance Computing Center North
Message Passing is presently the most widely deployed programming model in massively parallel high performance computing. Message passing is suitable for programming a wide range of current computer architectures, ranging from multi-core desk top equipment to the fastest HPC systems in the world, offering several hundred thousand processing elements.
This online course is at the beginners level and assumes no prior experience in parallel computing. The concepts behind message passing and distributed memory computing will be introduced and the syntax of the key MPI calls will be explained. The course will include point-to-point communications, non-blocking communication and the collective communications calls. Live demonstrations and practical sessions to deepen the understanding of the lectures will be part of the course. At the end of the course participants should be able to write their own MPI programs at an intermediate level. The teaching language will be English.
The course forms part of the SNIC training program. It is offered as a collaborative effort between C3SE, HPC2N, LUNARC and PDC with support from ENCCS.
Topics that will be covered:
There will be hands-ons to accompany the lectures.
The course is open to all users from the SNIC HPC centres and academics throughout the Nordic region.
