This cou rse covers OpenMP\, the industry standard for shared-memory programming\, which enables serial programs to be parallelised easily using compiler dir ectives. Users of desktop machines can use OpenMP on its own to improve pr ogram performance by running on multiple cores\; users of parallel superco mputers can use OpenMP in conjunction with MPI to better exploit the share d-memory capabilities of the compute nodes.\n\nThis course will cover an i ntroduction to the fundamental concepts of the shared variables model\, fo llowed by the syntax and semantics of OpenMP and how it can be used to par allelise real programs. Hands-on practical programming exercises will be i ncluded\, with access to HPC provided for the duration of the course.\n\nT rainer\n\n\nMark Bull\n\nMark teaches on EPCC's MSc in High Performance Co mputing and delivers many of our 'Shared-memory programming with OpenMP' a nd 'Single node optimisation' courses. He is EPCC's representative on the OpenMP standards body\, and has been training computational scientists for over 20 years.\n\n \n\nFormat\n\nThis online course will run over four s essions on consecutive Wednesday afternoons\, each running 14:00 - 16:30 U TC (15:00 - 17:30 CET) with a half-hour break 15:00-15:30 UTC (16:00 - 16: 30 CET)\, starting on Wed 13th November with the last session on Wed 4th D ecember.\n\nWe will be using Blackboard Collaborate for the course\, which is very simple to use and entirely browser-based.\n\nCollaborate usually works without problems with modern browsers\, but Firefox or Chrome is rec ommended. Links to join each of the sessions will be published on the cour se materials page.\n\nAttendees will register for the course in the usual way using the registration form.\n\nComputing requirements\n\nAll attendee s will need their own desktop or laptop with the following software instal led:\n\n\n web browser - e.g. Firefox or Chrome\n pdf viewer - e.g. Firefo x\, Adobe Acrobat\n\n\nand\n\n\n ssh client\n - on Mac/Linux then Terminal is fine\,\n - on Windows we recommend MobaXterm which provides an SSH cli ent\, inbuilt text file editor and X11 graphpics viewer plus a bash shell envioronment. Although this is a bigger install\, it is recommended (inste ad of putty and xming) if you will be accessing HPC machines regularly. Th ere is a 'portable' version of MobaXterm which does not need admin install privilages.\n - on Windows\, if you are not using MobaXterm\, you can use putty from https://www.putty.org/\n xming X11 graphics viewer\,\n - for M ac https://www.xquartz.org/\,\n - for Windows (if you are not using MobaXt erm) http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/6.9.0.31/Xming-6-9- 0-31-setup.exe/download\n\n\nWe have recorded an ARCHER Screencast: Loggin g on to ARCHER from Windows using PuTTY\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o VFQg1qFjKQ\nLogging on to Cirrus is very similar\, but substitute login.ci rrus.ac.uk as the login address.\n\nWe will provide accounts on the Cirrus system for all attendees who register in advance.\n\nCourse Materials\n\n All the course materials\, including lecture notes and exercise materials are available on the Course Materials page.\n\nIn addition\, links to join each of the four online sessions\, and recordings of previous sessions wi ll be available on the course materials page.\nhttps://events.prace-ri.eu/ event/903/ SUMMARY:Shared-memory Programming with OpenMP @ EPCC online Nov-Dec 2019 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/903/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
