[Online] Parallel programming with MPI and OpenMP @ VSC Belgium

Mar 21, 2022, 10:00 AM → Mar 29, 2022, 3:00 PM Europe/Brussels

Online

Overview

The Flemish Supercomputing Center (VSC, Belgium) is organizing this online course on parallel programming using OpenMP and MPI.

The materials of this course have been developed by Dr. Rolf Rabenseifner (HLRS, Stuttgart).

Course format

The training sessions will be provided online using the Blackboard Collaborate system. More information on how to access the system for the training sessions and how to follow the course will be provided soon.

In total, the training is organized on six days, two sessions of two hours per day (10h-12h, 13h-15h CET). This leaves ample time to digest the material and do some optional exercises. Each session has a short break.

Course level

Basic content: 40 %
Intermediate content: 40 %
Advanced content: 20 %

After every day there will be a round of "Questions and Answers".
