Schedule

• June 4: Parallel Programming Concepts
  In the morning, the attendees will learn various parallel programming concepts such as decomposition and load balancing through experiments and group exercises. The afternoon program will focus on how those concepts work when parallelizing example problems of different nature.
  

  Time	Topic
  8:00 - 8:30	Registration
  8:30 - 10:00	Programming Concept I
  10:00 - 10:15	Break
  10:15 - 12:00	Programming Concept II
  12:00 - 1:00	Lunch
  1:00 - 2:30	Example Development I
  2:30 - 2:45	Break
  2:45 - 4:30	Example Development II

• June 5: Code Development
  On the second day the main objective is to learn how to write parallel programs with Message Passing Interface (MPI). As hands-on exercises, the attendees will work on converting the examples problems discussed on the first day afternoon into real MPI programs.
  

  Time	Topic
  8:00 - 9:45	Programming with MPI I and hands-on
  9:45 - 10:00	Break
  10:00 - 11:45	Programming with MPI II and hands-on
  11:45 - 12:45	Lunch
  12:45 - 2:30	Programming with MPI III and hands-on
  2:30 - 2:45	Break
  2:45 - 4:30	Exercise

• June 6: Performance optimization
  The main topic on the third day is how to make parallel programs run faster. The attendees will be working on optimizing their MPI programs from the previous day.
  

  Time	Topic
  8:00 - 9:45	Optimization I and hands-on
  9:45 - 10:00	Break
  10:00 - 11:45	Optimization II and hands-on
  11:45 - 12:45	Lunch
