Section outline

  • This course, a collaboration of Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU) and Leibniz Supercomputing Center (LRZ), is targeted at students and scientists with interest in programming modern HPC hardware, specifically the large scale parallel computing systems available in Jülich, Stuttgart and Munich, but also smaller clusters in Tier-2/3 centers and departments.

    The exercises given below are suggestions - you are free to play with any code you like. If you are a beginner you will probably also not be able to complete all tasks.

    Topics covered include:

    • HPC Introduction, Systems in Germany
    • Elements of MPI and OpenMP
    • OpenMP in Depth
    • MPI in Depth
    • Performance Pitfalls and Program Optimisation
    • Profiling Tools
    • Parallel Computer Architecture
