Four-day MPI Workshop Scheduled

released September 23, 2003

There will be a four-part workshop on "Parallel Programming with MPI" from noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 8, 15, and 22. Originating at the Ohio Supercomputing Center (OSC), the workshop will be available via the Access Grid from Room E102A at NCSA's South Research Park facility, 1901 S. First St., Champaign.

OSC's Dave Ennis will present this workshop that introduces the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for writing parallel programs. The workshop will cover a variety of processor-to-processor communication routines, collective operations performed by groups of processors, defining and using high-level processor connection topologies, and user-specified derived data types for message creation. After completion of the workshop, participants will be able to write and execute parallel codes using MPI. Participants should have experience in programming with Fortran, C, or C++.

Registration is required. To register, go to http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Divisions/eot/Training/Events/Announcements/MPI.html.

The workshop is sponsored by the Alliance Partners for Advanced Computational Services (PACS). See the Alliance announcement at http://alliance.osc.edu/mpi/ for more information. Other participating sites include Montana Tech, Boston University, Dartmouth College, Purdue University, and the University of Kentucky.
