Learn the basics of shared memory programming with OpenMP. In particular, we will discuss the OpenMP execution and memory model, performance, reductions and load balancing. -- Prerequisites: C, C++ or Fortran programming, experience editing and compiling code in a Linux environment.

In this one-day session, lectures and hands-on labs are interspersed, and the students will learn the basics of shared memory programming with OpenMP. In particular, we will discuss the OpenMP's execution and memory model, performance, reductions and load balancing.

Part of the 2016 Ontario Summer School, in these two half-day sessions lectures and hands-on labs are interspersed, and the students will learn the basics of shared memory programming with OpenMP. In particular, we will discuss the OpenMP's threads, memory, and performance, reductions and load balancing. We will also discuss extensions to heterogeneous systems such as offered by the OpenMP 4.0 and OpenACC standards.
