DESCRIPTION:When dealing with performance problems of programs involving a 
 large amount of numerical operations\, an HPC programmer has to know the e
 xistence of specifically developed numerical libraries\, and how to use th
 em. Their high scalability and portability can be of great help\, since th
 ey can save a good amount of computing time and memory\, and avoid the eff
 ort of having to think and implement functions already covered by one of s
 uch libraries.\nIn this course\, some of the most important numerical libr
 aries for HPC will be presented: In particular\, there will be covered lib
 raries for Linear Algebra (ScaLAPACK and others)\, Fast Fourier Transform 
 (FFTW and others) and modelling with Partial Differential Equations (PETSc
 ). Time for practicing with these libraries is also scheduled.Target Audie
 nce:\nStudents and researchers interested in improving the performance of 
 their programs\, by exploiting the functionality of the best suited numeri
 cal libraries for their code.Topics:\nIntroduction to HPC Numerical librar
 ies.\nOverview on Fast-Fourier Transforms theory\, Parallel Data Distribut
 ion (Slab and 2D decompisition). Introduction on FFTW and 2DECOMP&amp\;FFT
  libraries.\nOverview on (dense and sparse) Linear Algebra Libraries. Intr
 oduction on BLACS and ScaLAPACK libraries.\nIntroduction to PetsC librarie
 s.Prerequisites:\nKnowledge of a scientific programming language (C/C++\, 
 Fortran)\, basic notions of parallel programming (MPI\, recommended openMP
 )\n\nhttps://events.prace-ri.eu/event/258/
