    Hi,

    The BCRI is presenting a two day tutorial in UCC entitled 'MPI
    Programming with Scientific Examples'. The tutorial will be given by Dr
    Gavin J. Pringle of the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre
    (http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/~gavin) on Dec 19th & 20th.


    Course Details
    Parallel programming by definition involves co-operation between
    processes to solve a common task. The programmer has to define the tasks
    that will be executed by the processors, and also how these tasks are to
    synchronise and exchange data with one another. In the message-passing
    model the tasks are separate processes that communicate and synchronise
    by explicitly sending each other messages. All these parallel operations
    are performed via calls to some message-passing interface that is
    entirely responsible for interfacing with the physical communication
    network linking the actual processors together.

    This tutorial uses the de facto standard for message passing, the
    Message Passing Interface (MPI). After an introduction to parallel
    programming, it covers point-to-point communication, non-blocking
    operations, derived datatypes, virtual topologies, collective
    communication, and general design issues. In addition to lectures,
    hands-on practical sessions will give participants the opportunity to
    write some simple MPI programs for themselves.

    BCRI
    The Boole Centre for Research in Informatics (BCRI) is a group comprised
    of researchers from the School of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and
    Statistics, and the Department of Computer Science that carry out
    interdisciplinary research under the banner of Informatics in areas of
    mathematics and computing related to information and communications
    technology.
    Among the BCRI's resources is a Beowulf computer cluster for high
    performance computing. The cluster is composed of 50 dual processor Dell
    Poweredge 1655MC servers and runs Debian linux. The MPI programs written
    in the practical sessions of the course will be run on the BCRI cluster.

    If you would like to attend this tutorial please pm me.

    Please feel free to forward this to any students or researchers that may be interested in attending.

    Regards
    Tony
