The following topics will be covered:

Programming at supercomputer scale using message-passing interface (MPI)
Using threading (OpenMP) for programming CPU nodes
Programming GPUs with HIP/CUDA and OpenMP
Hybrid parallel programming combining MPI with OpenMP and HIP/CUDA (multi-GPU programming)
Principles of efficient parallel input/output in supercomputers
Applying learned concepts in HPC and AI applications

Learning outcomes

The goal is to build HPC expertise up to an intermediate/semi-advanced level during the school.

After the summer school participants will be able to:

Identify main parallel programming concepts
Create parallel MPI programs with C, C++, or Fortran programming languages
Create GPU-accelerated programs
Recognize advanced parallel programming constructs
Read and modify scientific applications implemented in C, C++, or Fortran and utilizing MPI, OpenMP, and/or HIP/CUDA
