  1. MPI for the Next Generation of Supercomputing

    05 Dec 2008 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Andrew Lumsdaine

    Despite premature rumours of its demise, MPI continues to be the de facto standard for high-performance parallel computing. Nonetheless, supercomputing software and the high-end ecosystem continue to advance, creating challenges to several aspects of MPI. In this talk we will review the design...

  2. Welcoming Remarks

    24 Nov 2008 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Alejandro Strachan

    Opening remarks for the Purdue School on High Performance and Parallel Computing.

  3. Nanoparticle and Colloidal Simulations with Molecular Dynamics

    05 Dec 2008 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Steve Plimpton

    Modeling nanoparticle or colloidal systems in a molecular dynamics (MD) code requires coarse-graining on several levels to achieve meaningful simulation times for study of rheological and other manufacturing properties. These include treating colloids as single particles, moving from explicit to...

  4. OpenMP Tutorial

    25 Nov 2008 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Seung-Jai Min

    This tutorial consists of three parts. First, we will discuss abouthow OpenMP is typically used and explain OpenMP programming model. Second, we will describe important OpenMP constructs and data enviroments. Finally, we will show a simple example to illustrate how OpenMP APIs are used to program...

  5. Introduction to Parallel Programming with MPI

    24 Nov 2008 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): David Seaman

    Single-session course illustrating message-passing techniques. The examples include point-to-point and collective communication using blocking and nonblocking transmission. One application illustrates the manager/worker model with buffered communications. Code examples provided in C, C++, Fortran...
