Each day is comprised of approximately 5 hours of lectures and 2 hours of hands-on sessions.

Day 1

• Intel Tracing Tools: MPI tracing and correctness checking
• Intel Threading tools for OpenMP correctness checking and profiling
• Profiling on SGI Altix systems: histx and lipfpm
• Introduction to Scalasca

Day 2

• Parallel application performance analysis with Scalasca
• Parallel input/output with MPI-IO

Day 3

• I/O tuning on high performance file systems
• Portability of binary files, big/little endian issues
• Using I/O libraries (pNetCDF, HDF5)

Day 4

• Introduction to the PGAS languages Coarray Fortran and UPC: Partitioned global address space languages have emerged as an alternative to other parallel programming models, promising a shorter development cycle due to improved programmability while keeping the performance level on par with MPI. This course introduces the parallel facilities integrated into the Fortran language (coarrays) and the C language (unified parallel C), respectively. A hands-on session allows to experiment with the new concepts, using prototype implementations on LRZ's HPC systems.
