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 or OpenMP.
Pre-requisites
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.
