Today the most used paradigm used to exploit large massively parallel cluster is by combining MPI and OpenMP, and many foresee that this will stay the main method for exploiting exascale systems of tomorrow. 

Moreover MPI and OpenMP standards are evolving including new ideas and features to become increasingly effective in new machines.

This gives developers of HPC applications a smooth path of evolution of their applications without having to deal with heavy re-factoring to take up new technologies.

The school will be focused on hybrid programming for the best exploitation of massively parallel architectures, and as a smooth path of continuous evolution of the application toward exascale machines.

 

Topics

    Massively parallel architectures: BlueGene, hybrid clusters

    Overview of MPI and OpenMP

    Introduction to new MPI and OpenMP standards
