Introduction to parallel computing for scientists and engineers. Shared memory parallel architectures and programming, distributed memory, message-passing data-parallel architectures, and programming.

I just received my copy of the newly published Using Advanced MPI: Modern Features of the Message-Passing Interface. Written by William Gropp, Torsten Hoefler, Ewing Lusk, and Rajeev Thakur, the book ...

One size does not fit all, and it never will. Parallel programming looks to level the playing field by leveraging multicore hardware. It was easy to program applications in the days when one chip, one ...

I've been covering various scientific programs the past few months, but sometimes it's hard to find a package that does what you need. In those cases, you need to go ahead and write your own code.

In this video, Mike Bernhardt from the Exascale Computing Project catches up with ORNL’s David Bernholdt at SC18. They discuss supercomputing the conference, his career, the evolution and significance ...

Parallel programming approaches are varied and sometimes depend upon the underlying hardware architecture. Many approaches require shared memory, while message-based solutions can be mapped to a range ...

In configuring next generation large scale parallel processing arrays some teams are relying on “heterogeneous processing”. Basically a fifty-cent phrase describing a microprocessor with one or more ...

This week is the eighth annual International Workshop on OpenCL, SYCL, Vulkan, and SPIR-V, and the event is available online for the very first time in its history thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
