On clusters and distributed memory architectures, parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the dominating programming model. This 2 half-days course teaches parallel programming with MPI starting from an intermediate level, it builds on the knowledge gained in the course Parallelization with MPI (Beginner). Hands-on sessions (in C, Fortran, and Python) allow to immediately test and understand the constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI).

MPI basics as taught in Parallelization with MPI (Beginner)
Being able to program in either C/C++ or Fortran or Python
Know how to work on the Linux command line – if hands-on labs are done on the VSC
Target audience
Course for academia, industry, and public administration.
Course format
This course will be delivered as a LIVE ONLINE COURSE (using Zoom).
Hands-on labs
All participants will get a temporary user account on the ASC systems to do the hands-on labs.
Alternatively, it is possible to do the hands-on labs on your own laptop or on any system you have access to that provides a C/C++ or Fortran compiler, or Python+numpy+mpi4py, and a recent MPI library.
Accepted participants will be contacted a few days before the course and asked to do a short PRE-ASSIGNMENT that has to be completed before the course starts.
