</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Most HPC systems are clusters of shared memory nodes. Such SMP nodes can be small multi-core CPUs up to large many-core CPUs. Parallel programming may combine the distributed memory
 parallelization on the node interconnect (e.g., with MPI) with the shared memory parallelization inside of each node (e.g., with OpenMP or MPI-3.0 shared memory). This course analyses the strengths and weaknesses of several parallel programming models on clusters
 of SMP nodes. Multi-socket- multi-core systems in highly parallel environments are given special consideration. MPI-3.0 has introduced a new shared memory programming interface, which can be combined with inter-node MPI communication. It can be used for direct
 neighbour accesses similar to OpenMP or for direct halo copies, and enables new hybrid programming models. These models are compared with various hybrid MPI+OpenMP approaches and pure MPI.  Numerous case studies and micro-benchmarks demonstrate the performance-related
 aspects of hybrid programming. Hands-on sessions are included on both days.<span style="color:black">
</span>Tools for hybrid programming such as thread/process placement support and performance analysis are presented in a "how-to" section.  This course provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants
 among themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
