Online @ ETH Zurich: Course in Parallel Programming with MPI/OpenMP, Aug 23-26, 2021

Scientific IT Services (SIS, https://sis.id.ethz.ch/) of ETH Zurich are pleased to announce a four-day course in Parallel Programming with MPI/OpenMP. Because of the COVID-19 safety regulations at ETH Zurich this year the course is again being held entirely online from August 23 – 26, 2021. The course will be given by Dr. Rolf Rabenseifner from HLRS (see https://www.hlrs.de/en/about-us/organization/people/person/rabenseifner/), a world-renowned expert in parallel computing and teacher of courses in the areas of parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI), shared memory parallelization with OpenMP, and the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages UPC and Co-Array Fortran.

The aim of this course is to give people with some programming experience an introduction into the parallel programming models MPI and OpenMP. It starts on beginners level but also includes advanced features of the current standards. Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users to immediately test and understand the constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the shared memory directives of OpenMP.

The first two days are an introduction to MPI and OpenMP, and the last two days are dedicated to advanced methods in MPI, e.g., the new MPI-3.0 shared memory programming model within MPI.

This course is open to members of academia as well as participants from industry.
