Workshop: Introduction to OpenMP, Wednesday, Feb. 25

Wednesday, February 25, 1–3 PM, Crerar Library, Kathleen A. Zar Room

Douglas Rudd, Research Computing Center

This workshop will give a brief introduction to shared-memory parallel programming using the OpenMP standard. It is designed to give people with little to no parallel programming experience knowledge of basic parallel programming topics, examples of applying OpenMP to existing problems, and strategies for avoiding common errors and pitfalls. The tutorial will begin with an introduction to the concept of parallel programming and a discussion of how to identify problems that may benefit from parallelization. This will be followed by an introduction to the OpenMP API, with an emphasis on parallelizing existing serial codes. Examples in both C and Fortran will be provided.  

 Prerequisites: Familiarity with C, C++, or Fortran.
