Location: Brendan Iribe Center, Room 1207
This workshop is targeted at users of the Zaratan HPC cluster who are interested in applying or developing multithreaded or multi-process applications. This course will cover:
- techniques to parallelize code on a single node and across nodes,
- openMP for shared-memory parallel programming support on a single node,
- MPI (openMPI, IntelMPI) for distributed-memory parallel programming on single and multiple nodes,
- optimization of SBATCH directives for parallelized code, esp. hybrid openMP-MPI code.
Directives to control the behavior of multi-threaded and multi-process programs (environment variables, compiler directives, etc.) as well as code layout for parallelism in C, C++, and Fortran programs will be discussed and worked-out examples presented.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Linux/Unix and the use of our HPC clusters is assumed; we suggest to attend the workshop "Introduction to UNIX," and ideally "Introduction to Compiling Software on HPC," before taking this course.
System Requirements
This is a bring-your-own-laptop event. Make sure that a terminal application (e.g., ssh or PuTTY) is installed. A modern web browser (on Windows preferably Firefox) is required for use of the OnDemand web portal.
Miscellaneous Details
While the registration deadline is January 18, 2024, we are limiting this workshop to 54 participants (number of classroom seats) on a first-come, first-served basis, and registration will close once the workshop is full.
NOTE: DIT reserves the right to cancel the workshop for any reason with little notice.
