XSEDE two-day MPI workshop on your desktop on September 14-15, 2021

XSEDE HPC Workshop: MPI
September 14-15, 2021

XSEDE along with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to present a two-day MPI workshop.

This workshop is intended to give C and Fortran programmers a hands-on introduction to MPI programming. Both days are compact, to accommodate multiple time zones, but packed with useful information and lab exercises. Attendees will leave with a working knowledge of how to write scalable codes using MPI – the standard programming tool of scalable parallel computing.

This workshop will be remote to desktop only due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the registration has filled, there will be no more students added due to our current limits.

If you do not currently have an XSEDE Portal account, you will need to create one: https://portal.xsede.org/my-xsede?p_p_id=58&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view&_58_struts_action=%2Flogin%2Fcreate_account

Should you have any problems with that process, please contact help@xsede.org and they will provide assistance.

Please address any general workshop questions to Tom Maiden at tmaiden@psc.edu.
