Course description and aims
This lecture series will cover high performance parallel computing, which is important technology to support evolution of science and technology. The demand for high performance computing, involving extremely large amount of computation and data, is increasing for molecular simulation, protein analysis, mathematical optimization problems, and so on.
The contents will include standard parallel programming tools, MPI and OpenMP, and also include a programming tool for GPU/accelerators. In addition to lecture, there will be programming training using the peta-scale supercomputer TSUBAME at Tokyo Tech.
Student learning outcomes
[Objective] Participants shall get used to usage of parallel programming tools such as MPI, OpenMP and CUDA, through the lecture and training. Objectives also include learning of basic technologies for performance analysis, through training using the TSUBAME supercomputer.
[Theme] For efficient usage of modern computing systems including supercomputers, the knowledge of architecture, such as parallelism and hierarchy, is necessity. Theme includes programming with OpenMP and MPI, each of which has corresponding hierarchy, and programming on many-core accelerators (GPGPU).
Keywords
parallel computing, high performance computing, multi-core, MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU
