MESSAGE PASSING PROGRAMMING WITH MPI

In collaboration with the the UK National Supercomputing Facility, ARCHER, we are providing a free course introducing Message Passing Programming.

The world’s largest supercomputers are used almost exclusively to run applications which are parallelised using Message Passing. The course covers all the basic knowledge required to write parallel programs using this programming model, and is directly applicable to almost every parallel computer architecture.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

On completion of this course students should be able to:

  • Understand the message-passing model in detail.
  • Implement standard message-passing algorithms in MPI.
  • Debug simple MPI codes.
  • Measure and comment on the performance of MPI codes.
  • Design and implement efficient parallel programs to solve regular-grid problems.
