now)
This talk
will provide an overview of High Performance
Computing (HPC) in theory and how to use a
computing cluster in practice. Topics to be
covered include cluster computing concepts,
common parallel programming models, MPI and
OpenMP concepts, and a University of Michigan
Flux Cluster case study (creating, submitting,
observing, and analyzing cluster jobs; common
pitfalls and how to avoid them; and debugging).
Finally, we'll wrap up by discussing options and
issues for transitioning to HPC in the Cloud.
Short C and Fortran sample programs will be
provided.
