The Message Passing Interface (MPI) Standard is a standardized library for exchanging messages between multiple computers running a parallel program across distributed memory. The goal of the Message Passing Interface is to establish a portable, efficient, and flexible standard for message-passing that will be widely used for writing message-passing programs. Well-written MPI-based applications can take advantage of the scalable processing power offered by distributed computing clusters such as UH’s Opuntia cluster. The goal of this course is to teach those unfamiliar with MPI how to develop and run parallel programs according to the MPI standard. Topics covered will include MPI routines such as MPI environment management, point-to-point communications, and collective communications routines. Advanced topics such as MPI data types for message passing, groups and communicators, virtual topologies, and Hybrid programming will also be covered.
Prerequisites: Familiarity with a low-level programming language such as C/C++, or Fortran, and working comfortably in a UNIX/Linux environment or completed corresponding HPE DSI courses (cluster computing and C++).
