High-Performance Computing Certification Course, July 4-29, 2011HOME | SYLLABUS | INSTRUCTOR BIOS | REGISTRATION | CERTIFICATION | LOCATION
The Advanced Digital Sciences Center, the Institute of High Performance Computing, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the A*STAR Computational Resource Centre are jointly organising a month-long intensive course on High Performance Computing, targeted at scientists and engineers who want to use high performance computing in their work. The course will provide a solid foundation in the fundamental characteristics of sequential, shared-memory, and distributed-memory computer architectures that affect run-time performance. Through lectures and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to parallelize and optimize their codes using today's predominant high performance computing paradigms: OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, and OpenMP + MPI. Attendees will learn how to visualize and optimize the performance of their codes, and how to predict the benefit from parallelizing a particular sequential code. Upon completion of the course, participants will be familiar with the most popular tools, languages, and libraries that can be used to develop parallel programs. They will understand the pros and cons of different approaches, and will be able to choose the programming environment that best matches their application needs. The course will be held at Fusionopolis in Singapore. Parallel computing is in their blood. The University of Illinois has been a leader in defining the landscape of parallel computing research for over four decades. Illinois has made, and continues to make, contributions that benefit the research agendas of industry, government labs/agencies, and global academic partner institutions. Illinois innovation in parallel computing began with generations of the ILLIAC, the CEDAR machine, and the Illinois Cache Coherence Protocol. Today, parallel computing at Illinois includes the world's first petascale computer, a global cloud computing testbed, a powerful collection of supercomputers, and progressive efforts to usher in a new era of parallel computing for mobile, client, and desktop systems. Parallel@Illinois represents the breadth of Illinois activities and resources invested in pioneering and promoting parallel computing research and education.
