Online: Node Level Performance Optimization

18.5.2021 09:00 +03:00 EEST - 20.5.2021 16:30 +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.

Learning outcome

  • Awareness of modern features in x86 CPUs;

  • Ability to vectorize computations;

  • Ability to use advanced features of OpenMP;

  • Ability to increase code performance using threading and x86 optimization.

Prerequisites and content level

  • Good knowledge of C/C++ or Fortran;

  • Good knowledge of threading using OpenMP;

  • Basic knowledge of modern CPU architectures.

The content level of the course is broken down as: beginner's - 0%, intermediate - 20%, advanced - 80%, community-targeted content - 0%.
