Description
Annotation
With the increasing prevalence of multi-core processors, shared-memory programming models are essential. OpenMP is a popular, portable, widely supported, and easy-to-use shared-memory model. The course will improve users' understanding of OpenMP and its new features, to make the best use of this standard on modern computer architectures. The workshop will cover optimizations for NUMA architectures, SIMD, and accelerator programming in OpenMP. Several of the topics, tools, and/or hands-on exercises will be presented that support users in their programs' performance and correctness analysis.
Level
1st day beginner
2nd day advanced
Language
English
Prerequisites
Participants are supposed to understand basic parallelization concepts. Slides will contain the C/C++ and FORTRAN syntax, except for some. Exercises will be available in C/C++ and FORTRAN. If you wish to attend only the second day you should be familiar with the fundamentals of OpenMP covered on the first day.
