The focus of this 3-days (lunch-to-lunch) course is on shared-memory parallelization with OpenMP for multi-core, shared-memory, and ccNUMA platforms. This course teaches OpenMP starting from a beginners level. Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users to immediately test and understand the OpenMP directives, environment variables, and library routines. Race-condition debugging tools are also presented. (The GPU programming with OpenMP directives is not part of this course.)
