Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
Supercomputing Techniques: Parallel Processing on CRAY MPP Systems
The PSC will offer a workshop to students and researchers
associated with Pennsylvania academic institutions on
January 27-29, 1999
-------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: December 28, 1998
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this three day workshop is to introduce
participants to parallel processing on the CRAY T3E and to explore
more advanced topics, including message passing, performance monitoring
and
optimization techniques.
AGENDA:
The first two days of this workshop have been designed to introduce
participants to the CRAY T3E environment, compiling, debugging,
job submission, and parallel programming concepts.
On the third day, more advanced topics will be covered,
including parallel programming techniques (message passing,
shared memory libraries), code performance and optimization strategies.
To ensure quality training, our workshops
incorporate both lectures and extensive hands-on lab sessions.
Programming exercises are carefully designed to reinforce concepts and
techniques taught in class. Our instructors have strong scientific and
technical backgrounds and are available for individual consultation
during lab sessions.
In addition to the lab exercises, lab time will also be available for
participants to optimize their own code with the help and
supervision of our instructors. Participants are encouraged to bring
their own code, but not required.
==> A working knowledge of FORTRAN or C and UNIX is required.
==> Parallel computing experience is not necessary.
REGISTRATION:
Registration fees are waived to students, professors or researchers
associated with academic institutions in the state of Pennsylvania.
