OpenMP is one of the most popular paradigms to exploit the now ubiquitous manycore and multi-core processors. In this beginner-level training session, we will provide an overview of the basic concepts of OpenMP. We will introduce the trainees to the Interactive Parallelization Tool (IPT) that is designed for parallelizing serial C/C++ programs semi-automatically. The participants in the training session will be introduced to OpenMP and will learn to use IPT for parallelizing their C/C++ applications.
Prerequisites: Experience working in a Linux environment, and familiarity with C/C++/Fortran or any other programming language.
We are offering the training to both in-person and webcast participants. Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in person.

Updated on Aug 1, 2017 8:07:50 PM
LS5 has been returned to production. We apologize for the delay. Unfortunately the rsip service error was not resolvable within a reasonable time-frame and so the rsip errors persist. This means that some compute nodes are still unable to access outside IP addresses. We are able to make some changes towards resolving this while the system is running so please watch user news for updates to this service

LS5 is still experiencing issues relating to the rsip server setup. We estimate that this can be solved within a reasonable amount of time and so are extending the LS5 until 23:00.

The morning course will introduce participants to the OpenMP threading model, and describe the basic constructs necessary to parallelize loops on manycore architectures. Topics covered will include understanding the fork/join threading model, using OpenMP pragmas, and loop parallelization.
The afternoon course will provide an introduction to OpenMP optimization techniques for manycore and vectorized architectures. Topics covered will include using OpenMP’s SIMD directives, configuring OpenMP thread affinity, and changing OpenMP thread scheduling behavior.
You are welcome to register for either or both courses. Both of the courses are available to in-person and webcast participants. Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in person.

This training will provide existing R users with training on how to use R in an HPC environment. We will cover logistical issues with getting your R code up and running on TACC resources, as well as how to take advantage of the unique resources available at TACC. This includes covering usage of the 'parallel' package in R and how to manage CRAN packages in a multi-user environment. Previous familiarity with R is assumed.
We are offering the training to both in-person and webcast participants. Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in person.
