MPI (Message Passing Interface) is the de facto standard for parallel programming, defining how concurrent processes can communicate, and hence work together, to complete a given task in a shorter time. The course optionally includes an introduction to the concepts and terminology of High Performance Computing (HPC) for anyone new to the field. We can provide a solid grounding in the use of point-to-point and collective communication in MPI and can also explain more advanced topics, up to the current MPI-3.1 standard.

Each section of the course is supported by practical exercises.

Aimed at:

Those interested in learning parallel programming from scratch through to experienced users wishing to learn new or more advanced features of MPI.

Prerequisites:

Attendees should be able to program in either Fortran or C and be familiar with working in a UNIX environment (i.e., you should be able to connect to a machine remotely, use basic UNIX commands, edit a source file and understand the elementary steps in compiling object files and creating executables).

Duration:

1 to 3 days.

After Course Attendees Will:

Be able to parallelize an existing serial code, or write a parallel code from scratch, using the features of MPI included in the course.
