Target Audience:

This course is aimed at programmers seeking to deepen their understanding of MPI and explore some of its more recent and advanced features. We cover more advanced MPI functionality including exploiting shared-memory access from MPI programs and advanced use of collectives. We also look at performance aspects such as which MPI routines to use for scalability, MPI internal implementation details and overlapping communication and calculation.
