OpenMP is a parallel programming technique for shared-memory multiprocessor computers. Compared to other parallel programming methods such as MPI and Pthreads, OpenMP is easy to learn. The OpenMP approach involves the use of standard compiler directives for making blocks of code run in parallel. It is particularly well suited to parallelizing existing serial code. This session will introduce you to the essential...

This presentation is intended for those people having little or no prior experience with parallel programming. The focus is on distributed-memory programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI), using a few simple examples in Fortran and in C. MPI requires you to design a program specifically for parallel processing. As one controls the sharing of data by explicit message passing, one has a very clear idea of how the...

WestGrid provides a resource for scientific visualization in the form of an SGI Onyx Ultimate Vision computer with 24 processors, 14 GB of RAM and 10 graphics pipes. This machine is located at Simon Fraser University, but is available to WestGrid users from all WestGrid sites. This seminar will discuss how to access this resource using SGI Vizserver software and then will discuss some basics of...
