This UP provides the theoretical basics of parallel multi-core computing.
Content :
In this set of courses / practical works (programming), using the theoretical knowledge previously acquired (UP1) about the basics in parallel architectures and parallel computing, students will learn parallel programming by “message sending/receiving” on a computing cluster.
| On completion of the unit, the student will be capable of: | Classification level | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Launching a program on a cluster (using an SSH connexion, a cluster management and job scheduling system such as SLURM) | 1. Knowledge | Useful |
| Basics of the programming by message sending/receiving with MPI | 3. Apply | Important |
| Developing parallel algorithms and programs | 4. Analyse | Essential |
