Parallel computing is at the heart of modern HPC systems. Before learning programming models such as MPI or OpenMP, it is important to understand the fundamental concepts behind parallel execution and the tools that can be used to exploit parallelism even when applications themselves are not designed for it. This session introduces the theoretical foundations of parallel computing and presents...

MPI (Message Passing Interface) is the standard programming model for distributed-memory parallel computing. It enables programs running on multiple processes, potentially across many compute nodes, to exchange data efficiently and coordinate their execution. This session introduces the fundamentals of MPI programming and provides hands-on experience with the communication patterns commonly...
