Dear HPC users of LRZ, "Parallel Programming of High Performance Systems" is the annual course provided by LRZ and RRZE, giving students and scientists a solid introduction to - Processor and HPC system architectures - Code development and basic tools - Scalar optimizations (generic and architecture-specific) - Parallelization basics - Parallel programming with OpenMP and MPI There will also be an additional course with advanced topics, which covers - Parallel performance tools for MPI and OpenMP - Parallel I/O with MPI I/O - I/O tuning and libraries Hands-on sessions will enable participants to apply the concepts right away. You can find the preliminary course agendas on the web: Basic course: http://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2014-03-10_hpar1w13/ Advanced course: http://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2014-03-31_hpar2w13/ This year the basic course is hosted by RRZE in Erlangen and will be available at LRZ in Garching via videoconferencing, if a sufficient number of people are interested. Hands-On sessions will only be provided in Erlangen. The advanced course will be hosted by LRZ in Garching.
