General Information
Parallel Programming of High Performance Systems is a three-day on-site course in Erlangen organized by the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU) in collaboration with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ). The course is targeted at students and scientists interested in programming modern HPC clusters, from the research group level to the computing center level, and combines lectures with hands-on exercises conducted on a Linux cluster at NHR@FAU.
Participants will receive an introduction to high-performance computing and systems in Germany, followed by practical training in OpenMP and MPI, performance pitfalls and program optimisation, profiling tools, and parallel computer architecture. The course includes guided hands-on sessions on logging in, running jobs, and working with code examples, as well as practical exercises on OpenMP, MPI, and performance analysis.
Key topics include:
-
HPC introduction and systems in Germany
-
