ONLINE: Node Level Performance Optimization

7.6.2022 10:00 +03:00 EEST - 9.6.2022 17:15 +03:00 EEST

Online event

This course includes topics on code optimization for x86 platforms (Intel and AMD CPUs) and efficient code parallelization on node-level using OpenMP threading. Advanced aspects of threading and optimization, such as selected topics of new features in OpenMP 5.0 standard, will be covered during the course.

This course is part of PRACE Advanced HPC Workshop, a special online advanced HPC track of courses consists of three separate training events on advanced HPC topics.

Learning outcome

- Awareness of modern features in x86 CPUs;
- Ability to vectorize computations;
