  • 07/03/2010 Introduction to the course — Aim and purpose, program, structure, rules and kind of final tests. — Message Passing Interface, Part 1 — The MPI standard, brief history and purpose. Message Passing programming and portability, functional and performance portability. The library approach of MPI. MPI basic concepts: communicators.
  • 08/03 Message Passing Interface, Part 1 continued — MPI basic concepts: communicators, point to point primitives, collective primitives, datatypes; communication semantics in MPI: envelopes, local/global completion, (non)blocking operations, communication modes. Opaque Objects. Primitive datatypes.
  • 11/03 MPI, Part 2 — MPI Datatypes: role in MPI, primitive datatypes, derived datatypes. Datatypes and data conversion/packing/unpacking. Basic Send and Receive and their differences: checking communication result, count of received items, asymmetric receives (wildcard TAG and SOURCE) and the status opaque object in receives. Derived datatypes as local opaque objects. Typemaps and type signatures of an MPI datatype. Type signatures and send-receive compatibility, different typemaps corresponding to a same type signature. Basic datatype constructors MPI_CONTIGUOUS, MPI_VECTOR.
  • 14/03 No lesson
  • 15/03 No lesson
  • 18/03 MPI, Part 3 — Array and Struct Datatype Constructors: MPI_HVECTOR, MPI_INDEXED, MPI_HINDEXED, MPI_INDEX_BLOCK, MPI_STRUCT; effect of extent and size in composing datatypes in memory, upper bound and lower bound markers, related auxiliary functions: MPI_GET_ADDRESS, MPI_TYPE_SIZE, MPI_TYPE_GET_EXTENT, MPI_TYPE_CREATE_RESIZED, MPI_TYPE_GET_TRUE_EXTENT. Commit and free operations, MPI_TYPE_DUP. MPI_INIT and MPI_FINALIZE.
  • 21/03 MPI, Part 4 — MPI Collective operations (except the ALLTOALLW and reduce/scan operations).
  • 22/03 MPI, Part 5 — MPI Collective operations ALLTOALLW and reduce/scan; user-defined reduction operators. Groups and Communicators: semantics (local versus global), creation and manipulation primitives.
  • 25/03 24/03 MPI, Part 6 — Communication modes: Buffered, Ready, Synchronous. Attaching buffers to MPI: semantics and primitives. Incomplete communications: semantics, MPI_REQUEST opaque objects, MPI_GET_STATUS. Semantics of Incomplete Sends with modes, Incomplete Receive. Semantics and use of MPI_TEST and MPI_WAIT primitives in the plain, *SOME, *ANY and *ALL variants. Brief description of MPI_CANCEL and MPI_REQUEST_FREE.
  • 28/03 Assist, Part 1 — Recap on Parallel Skeleton Languages, introduction to a line of SPP languages (co-)developed at the C.S. Dept. : P3L, OcamlP3L, SKIE, ASSIST. See Assist Tutorials on the course main page.
  • 29/03 MPI lab time bring your laptops!
  • 01/04 Assist, Part 2
  • 04/04 Assist, Part 3
  • 05/04 No lesson
  • 08/04 MPI recap — we will have a short survey of MPI to help who started the course late to get on par with the rest of the class.
  • 11/04 Assist Part 4
  • 12/04 MPI Lab Program with multiple parallel modules in MPI. See document at the end of this web page.
  • 15/04 MPI Lab Program with multiple parallel modules in MPI. See document at the end of this web page. POLL FOR SETTING UP AN EXTRA LESSON EACH WEEK IN MAY : Doodle poll Correction : please disregard previous doodle poll.
  • 29/04 Coarse grain and Parallel Bridging models — Recap of the RAM model; the Parallel RAM (PRAM) model of algorithmic cost. Theoretical vs realistic cost models, and the quest for parallel bridging models. Modeling communication abstracting away from the network structure: QSM and LogP (mention) and the BSP model. Superstep model, cost of a superstep, cost of an algorithm. BSP can be a programming model: mention of BSPlib and NestStep / BlockLib
    Doodle poll to fill : New Doodle poll – please report NO for unavailable times, YES if you are sure that the time slot is free, and (yes) if you don't know for sure.
