Introduction to Parallel Programming with MPI
Topic outline
-
This online course is designed to target students and scientists with interest in parallel programming with MPI. It provides an introduction to MPI which is nowadays routinely practiced and is the most widespread parallelization paradigm.
Topics covered include:
- Basic principles of distributed-memory computer architecture and the Message Passing Interface (MPI)
- Blocking and non-blocking point-to-point communication
- Blocking and non-blocking collective communication
- Derived data types
- Subcommunicators, intercommunicators
- Performance issues
Exercises:
- 9 exercises with a variety of difficulty
- All exercises are already MPI parallel; however, they are not compilable/runnable because markers have been placed in the code. To solve the exercises, you are supposed to fix them by replacing the markers with correct code.
- Commands in the exercise descriptions are in
silverbackground color and they are prepended by a$on each line.
Lecturers: Dr. Alireza Ghasemi and Dr. Georg Hager (NHR@FAU)
