Join us to learn about creating impact from your work and how to develop your career in HPC and scientific software engineering.

We invite you to join us for a special networking evening designed to provide you with key skills to develop your career and meet experts from the HPC and MPI community. This event, hosted by Women in HPC, but open to everyone will host a panel discussion on creating impact from your work: insight into the UK academic funding landscape, as well as a discussion on the opportunities available for careers for Research Software Engineers. The evening will finish with a special networking session and dinner where you can meet leading members of the MPI and HPC community from around the world.

Training: Advanced MPI

Hosted by EPCC, PRACE and the ARCHER HPC Service
Thursday, 29 September 2016 - Friday, 30 September 2016
Free to all academics

ARCHER, the UK's national supercomputing service, offers training in software development and high-performance computing to scientists and researchers across the UK. As part of our training service, and in conjunction with our hosting of EuroMPI2016, we will be running a 2 day ‘Advanced MPI’ training session.

Details

This course is aimed at programmers seeking to deepen their understanding of MPI and explore some of its more recent and advanced features. We cover topics including communicator management, non-blocking and neighbourhood collectives, MPI-IO, single-sided MPI and the new MPI memory model. We also look at performance aspects such as which MPI routines to use for scalability, overlapping communication and calculation and MPI internal implementation issues. Timetable will be available nearer the course date.

Pre-requisites: Attendees should be familiar with MPI programming in C, C++ or Fortran, e.g. have attended the ARCHER MPI course.This course is part-funded by the PRACE project and is free to all. Please register using the online form. If you have any questions, please consult the course forum page or contact epcc-support [at] epcc [dot] ed [dot] ac [dot] uk.
