VSC-School @ TU Wien

VSC-School is designed to improve the proficiency in High Performance Computing (HPC), and the courses offered in this context are open for all interested scientists and students, course language is English.

Participation in selected single blocks is possible, please register for each block separately.

Students (TU Wien and other Austrian universities – please note especially step 3 with your co-registration) can earn credits (ECTS) via VSC-School I and VSC-School II, please contact us via: vsc-seminar@list.tuwien.ac.at

This spring we offer three courses that are still open for registration, i.e., the

VSC Training Courses ONLINE:
Parallel programming with OpenMP, MPI, and Hybrid Programming

Want to boost your computer simulations by writing parallel code that runs efficiently on modern compute clusters? Join in for our online courses in English and learn about parallel programming for high-performance computing (HPC) systems.

On clusters and distributed memory architectures, parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the dominating programming model. And nowadays you'll find multicore (shared memory) CPUs basically everywhere, which are most easily and efficiently programmed using OpenMP. In addition, most HPC systems are clusters of shared memory nodes and parallel programming may combine the distributed memory parallelization on the node interconnect (e.g., with the Message Passing Interface - MPI) with the shared memory parallelization inside of each node (e.g., with OpenMP or MPI-3.0 shared memory).

All our courses start from a beginners level and lots of hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic concepts of parallel programming.

The courses are organized by the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC) at TU Wien in cooperation with the High-Performance Computing-Center Stuttgart (HLRS).
