The course introduces the basics of parallel programming with the message passing interface (MPI) and OpenMP paradigms. The course consists of lectures and hands-on exercises on parallel programming.Learning outcome
After the course the participants should be able to write simple parallel programs and parallelize existing programs with the basic features of MPI and/or OpenMP.Prerequisites
No prior knowledge on parallel programming is required, but the participants are assumed to have working knowledge of either Fortran 90 or C programming languages.Preliminary programDay 1:

    Introduction to parallel programming.

    OpenMP: programming model, directives, data scope, synchronization and runtime library.

Day 2:

    Message-passing programming model, MPI.

    MPI point-to-point communication.

    Non-blocking communication.

Day 3:

    Collective communication.

    User defined communicators.

    Performance considerations.
