[comp.parallel] Argonne Parallel Programming Class

levine%antares.mcs.anl.gov@RELAY.CS.NET (12/06/88)

Argonne National Laboratory has set up the Advanced Computing Research
Facility (ACRF) for the study of parallel computing.  To encourage the
use of the ACRF,  Argonne will be offering classes on parallel computing
to familiarize potential users with the ACRF multiprocessors and parallel
programming in general.  Topics to be covered include:

1) Parallelizing compilers.
2) The Monitor and Schedule packages for portable parallel programming.
3) Hypercube programming.
4) DAP Programming.
5) Connection Machine Programming.

A portion of the third day will be devoted to each attendee's particular
project.  The format of the course is alternating lectures and hands-on
work with the parallel computers in the ACRF.  At its completion participants
will have written and run programs on each machine, and should be familiar
with the ACRF environment.  Fortran will be emphasized as the primary
programming language.  Knowledge of Fortran and Unix will be assumed.

The upcoming schedule of classes is:

January 18-20, 1989
March   15-17, 1989
May     3-5,   1989
June    21-23, 1989
August  16-18, 1989
October 11-13, 1989

Parallel computers currently in the ACRF are:

    2-processor Ardent Titan
    8-processor Alliant FX/8
   16-processor Intel iPSC-VX hypercube
   20-processor Encore Multimax
   24-processor Sequent Balance 21000
   32-processor Intel iPSC hypercube
 1024-processor Active Memory Technology DAP
16384-processor Thinking Machines CM-2

Those interested in the classes should contact

Teri Huml
Mathematics and Computer Science Division
Argonne National Laboratory

Chicago (the course is NOT associated with the conference).  The course is
limited to 24 people on a first come first serve basis.

Topics to be covered include:

1) Parallelizing compilers.
2) The Monitor and Schedule packages for portable parallel programming.
3) Programming the Butterfly 2.
4) Programming the AMT DAP.
5) Programming the Connection Machine-2.
6) Introduction to the LAPACK project.
