XSEDE HPC Workshop: MPI
XSEDE along with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to present a two-day MPI workshop.
This workshop is intended to give C and Fortran programmers a hands-on introduction to MPI programming. Both days are compact, to accommodate multiple time zones, but packed with useful information and lab exercises. Attendees will leave with a working knowledge of how to write scalable codes using MPI – the standard programming tool of scalable parallel computing.
This workshop will be remote to desktop only due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the registration has filled, there will be no more students added due to our current limits. Please do not ask to be added to the workshop after the registration period has ended.

Location: Zoom
In this workshop, you'll get hands-on experience accelerating Python codes with NVIDIA GPUs. We will utilize code samples in three main categories to introduce you to Python GPU accelerated computing. First, we will explore drop-in replacements for SciPy and NumPy code through the CuPy library. Next we’ll cover NVIDIA RAPIDS, which provides GPU acceleration for end-to-end data science workloads. Finally we'll cover Numba, which gives you the flexibility to write custom accelerated code without leaving the Python language. We'll finish with an end-to-end example that incorporates all the tools introduced to tackle a geospatial problem. By the end of the workshop, you'll have the skills to start accelerating your own Python codes with NVIDIA GPUs!
