An Introduction to MPI Programming

09:00 - 09:45
Speaker: Pedro Velho

Through this lecture we present the trends of HPC with an special focus to cluster computing. After we introduce several message passing skeleton strategies such as Master/Worker, Pipeline and Divide & Conquer. At the end we present the Message Passing Interface (MPI).

MPI Practical Programming Session

09:50 - 13:15
Speaker: Pedro Velho

The goal of this activite is to guide students through examples showing the main advantages and primities of MPI. All the exercises can be downloaded here.

An Introduction to High-Throughput Computing

14:30 - 15:15
Speaker: Filip Křikava

In this lecture we will start with an overview of the main concepts and challenges in Distributed Computing and show the approach of High-Throughput Computing. In the second part we will introduce the Condor project and its mechanisms and policies that support High Throughput Computing on large collections of distributively owned computing resources.

Condor in Action

15:20 - 18:20
Speaker: Filip Křikava

During this hands-on session students will gain practical skills in using Condor for helping them to solve their computational needs. We will cover the essential Condor features such as job queueing, scheduling, resource monitoring, and resource management as well as using workflows. Link to the condor tutorial.

Party

21:00 - 00:00
Speaker:

An unique opportunity to taste the famous Brazillian coctail exclusively prepared by Pedro. Also an opportunity to taste the freshness of Guarapita brought by the local organization committee Alvaro.

Salsa Lesson

00:00 - 02:00
Speaker:

The mixed group of Costarican and French dancing instructors will guide your first salsa moves.
