Knowledge of MPI memory models for RMA operations.Familiarity with neighbourhood collective operations in MPI.Understanding of how to achieve high performance with MPI I/O.Understanding of when and how to use MPI datatypes.Timetable will be available nearer the course date. We also look at performance aspects such as which MPI routines to use for scalability, overlapping communication and calculation and MPI internal implementation issues. We cover topics including communicator management, non-blocking and neighbourhood collectives, MPI-IO, single-sided MPI and the new MPI memory model. This course is aimed at programmers seeking to deepen their understanding of MPI and explore some of its more recent and advanced features. As part of our training service, and in conjunction with INTERTWinE, we will be running a 2 day ‘Advanced MPI’ training session. ARCHER, the UK's national supercomputing service, offers training in software development and high-performance computing to scientists and researchers across the UK.
