Course overview

OpenMP provides an efficient method to write parallel programs in C, C++ and Fortran. OpenMP programs are suitable for execution on shared memory architectures such as modern multi core systems or a single compute node of the SNIC HPC clusters.

This course will introduce participants to the shared-memory model for parallel programming and the OpenMP application-programming interface. In many cases OpenMP allows an existing serial program to be upgraded incrementally, starting with the parallelization of the most time-consuming parts of the code. Typically OpenMP programs are easily ported from one shared memory multi processor system to another one.

Topics

  • Shared memory programming concepts
  • Syntax of the OpenMP API
  • Parallel and serial regions
  • Shared and private data
  • Workshare constructs and scheduling
  • Reductions
  • Avoiding data access conflicts and race conditions
  • Performance considerations for non-uniform memory access hardware (e.g. nodes of SNIC HPC clusters)
