[VSC Training News] Parallelization with MPI, 28-29 April 2025 + 5-6 May 2025
by VSC Training Newsletter 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Dear VSC users and friends, join our upcoming MPI course(s) and get a good understanding of one of the most iconic tools in HPC. MPI (Message Passing Interface) and HPC (high-performance computing) could not be without each other. It does not matter whether you run a large-scale simulation or you train a large AI model, the backbone that makes this possible is MPI or one of it's derivatives. It lets you run code across many nodes at once unlocking performance gains and making huge problems solvable. And a big welcome to our new subscribers - please see the welcome/about note at the end of this newsletter. Parallelization with MPI 28-29 April 2025 + 5-6 May 2025 On clusters and distributed memory architectures, parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the dominating programming model. The first 2 half-days course teaches parallel programming with MPI starting from a beginners level and the second 2 half-days course builds on this knowledge and addresses intermediate and advanced topics of MPI. Hands-on sessions (in C, Fortran, and Python) allow to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). Prerequisites: For the first course no prior MPI knowledge is required. The second course builds on the knowledge gained in the first. You should have basic programming skills in either C/C++ or Fortran or Python. Lecturer: Claudia Blaas-Schenners (Member of the MPI Forum; VSC Research Center, TU Wien and EuroCC Austria) For more details & registration see: Parallelization with MPI (Beginner) 28-29 April 2025, 09:30-14:00 CEST Content level: Basic = 8:00h (100%) https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/MPI-2025-04 (register before 22 April 2025) Parallelization with MPI (Intermediate - Advanced) 5-6 May 2025, 09:30-14:00 CEST Basic = 0:00h (0%) + Intermediate = 6:00h (75%) + Advanced = 2:00h (25%) https://events.vsc.ac.at/e/MPI-2025-05 (register before 29 April 2025) All training events by VSC https://events.vsc.ac.at/category/4/ Welcome to / about the [VSC Training News] mailing list You are subscribed to this mailing list because you are or have been a VSC user, subscribed yourself, or attended a training course in the past few months.
