Introduction to parallel programming 2011

A course lectured over five afternoons will give a introduction to parallel programming. Topics covered:

• A walk through of cluster architectures. Amdahl's vs Gustafsons law. Simple MPI-calls, programs with MPI-collectives.

• OpenMP programming

• MPI programming
  

• Parallel Matlab and NumPy/SciPy programming
• NorStore usage (storage), including an introduction to R and iRODS

Install a Matlab Client on your laptop. See http://www.ntnu.no/adm/it/orakel and Programvaredistribusjon

The MPI course covers a lot of the examples from the IBM's Redbook "Practical MPI programming", http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245380.html
