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.InstructorRobert Sinkovits, Director of Education and Training, SDS
 CDr. Sinkovits leads the education and training efforts at the San Diego S
 upercomputer Center, where he has been a computational scientist for more 
 than 25 years. He has collaborated with researchers spanning many fields i
 ncluding physics, chemistry, astronomy, structural biology, finance, ecolo
 gy, climate, immunology, and the social sciences, always with an emphasis 
 on making the most effective use of high-performance computing resources. 
 Dr. Sinkovits is the PI for the COMPLECS CyberTraining project and co-PI f
 or the Voyager and Expanse supercomputer awards.See a full list of SDSC's 
 upcoming training and events.COMPLECS (COMPrehensive Learning for end-user
 s to Effectively utilize CyberinfraStructure) is a new SDSC program where 
 training will cover non-programming skills needed to effectively use super
 computers. Topics include parallel computing concepts, Linux tools and bas
 h scripting, security, batch computing, how to get help, data management a
 nd interactive computing. Each session offers 1 hour of instruction follow
 ed by a 30-minute Q&A. COMPLECS is supported by NSF award 2320934.
