Learn parallel programming fundamentals and advanced techniques through this comprehensive lecture series from the University of Greifswald's winter term 2020/21. Master computer architecture concepts and explore different types of parallelism before diving deep into OpenMP programming, starting with basic constructs and progressing to advanced features and performance optimization strategies. Discover ccNUMA architectures and wavefront parallelization techniques, then transition to distributed computing with MPI (Message Passing Interface), covering point-to-point communication, collective operations, and distributed-memory system architectures. Explore sophisticated MPI concepts including custom data types, virtual topologies, performance considerations, and input/output operations. Conclude by examining hybrid programming approaches that combine MPI and OpenMP for maximum computational efficiency across modern high-performance computing systems.
