The Advanced Computing Research Facility (ACRF) at Argonne National Laboratory
is offering introductory courses on parallel computing to familiarize
potential users with the ACRF multiprocessors and parallel programming in
general. The courses are limited to 22 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.
The format of the course is alternating lectures and hands-on work
with the parallel computers in the ACRF. Fortran will be emphasized as the
primary programming language. Knowledge of Fortran and Unix will be assumed.
A portion of the third day is available for each attendee to work on their
own particular project.
The schedule of classes for 1990 is:
April 4-6 1990
June 13-15 1990
August 22-24 1990
October 17-19 1990
December 5-7 1990
