HPC Training Series - Course 11 "HPC for Beginners: Basic Concepts, MPI and OpenMP"

→ Europe/Athens
Description

EuroCC@Greece announces the 11th Course of HPC Training Series with the subject "HPC for Beginners: Basic Concepts, MPI and OpenMP", that will take place online on March 7th, 2025.  

Date: March 7th, 2025, at 09:45 EET  

Location: Online via Zoom

Presentation Languages: Greek

Audience:

Suitable for all users, with a focus on:

  • Engineers

  • Developers

  • IT Professionals

  • Students

  • Researchers

This course is ideal for those looking to understand the basics of how parallel computing technologies, such as MPI and OpenMP, can improve code performance.

Description: This is an introductory course designed for engineers, developers, IT professionals, students, and researchers looking to enhance code performance using parallel computing. Participants will learn fundamental concepts of High-Performance Computing (HPC), with a focus on shared and distributed memory parallelism. The course covers OpenMP for shared memory parallelism and MPI for distributed memory computing, introducing both single-node and multi-node parallel techniques, respectively. Additionally, participants will gain insights into accessing Greek and European supercomputers for research and development. No prior HPC experience is required, but basic programming knowledge (C, C++, or Fortran) is recommended.  

Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamental concepts of High-Performance Computing (HPC) 

  • Explain the basic principles of parallel computing and how it enhances code performance.

  • Apply OpenMP for shared memory parallelism using basic constructs.

  • Utilize MPI for distributed memory parallelism under blocking and non-blocking communication.

Prerequisites:

Participants should have:

  • Basic programming knowledge (preferably in C, C++, or Fortran).

  • A general understanding of computer science concepts.

  • No prior experience with HPC, MPI, or OpenMP is required.
