Introduction to Code Parallelization using OpenMP
Overview
Instructor(s): Marinus Pennings
Time: Opens Friday, April 8, 2022
Location: Google Classroom
Prerequisite(s): Current Ada account, working knowledge of C/C++ or FORTRAN, Intro to Linux or Linux/Unix skills
This course covers code parallelization on shared memory systems using the OpenMP standard. We will start with a brief discussion about basic hardware architecture and compiling and running OpenMP program. Next we will introduce the OpenMP programming model and we will discuss OpenMP directives, library functions and environmental variables. The course is example driven (Fortran90 and C++ code snippets) to explain the various concepts and there are a few demo problems we will do together in class.
A Registration button will appear here when registration has been opened.
