SUMMARY:COMPLECS: Parallel Computing Concepts
DESCRIPTION:All users of advanced cyberinfrastructure, whether they develop
  their own software or use 3rd party applications, should understand funda
 mental parallel computing concepts. In this webinar we cover supercomputer
  architectures, the differences between threads and processes, implementat
 ions of parallelism (e.g., OpenMP and MPI), strong and weak scaling, limit
 ations on scalability (Amdahl’s and Gustafson’s Laws) and benchmarking
 . We also discuss how to choose the appropriate number of compute cores or
  nodes when running your applications and, when appropriate, the best bala
 nce between threads and processes. This webinar does not assume any progra
 mming experience and is suited for a wide audience, including current and 
 prospective users of parallel computers, anyone who expects to write a pro
 posal for computer time or those who are simply curious about parallel com
 puting.---What is COMPLECS? - COMPLECS (COMPrehensive Learning for end-use
 rs to Effectively utilize CyberinfraStructure) training covers non- progra
 mming skills needed to effectively use supercomputers. Topics include para
 llel computing concepts, Linux tools and bash scripting, security, batch c
 omputing, how to get help, data management and interactive computing. Each
  session offers 1 hour of instruction followed by a 30-minute Q&A. COMPLE
 CS is supported by NSF award 2320934.---Robert SinkovitsDirector of Educa
 tion and Training, SDSCDr. Sinkovits leads the education and training effo
 rts at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, where he has been a computation
 al scientist for more than 25 years. He has collaborated with researchers 
 spanning many fields including physics, chemistry, astronomy, structural b
 iology, finance, ecology, climate, immunology, and the social sciences, al
 ways with an emphasis on making the most effective use of high-performance
  computing resources. Dr. Sinkovits is the PI for the COMPLECS CyberTraini
 ng project and co-PI for the Voyager and Expanse supercomputer awards.For
