Everything You Need to Know About the Intel® MPI LibraryIntel® Software
The document discusses tuning the Intel MPI library. It begins with an introduction to factors that impact MPI performance like CPUs, memory, network speed and job size. It notes that MPI libraries must make choices that may not be optimal for all applications. The document then outlines its plan to cover basic tuning techniques like profiling, hostfiles and process placement, as well as intermediate topics like point-to-point optimization and collective tuning. The goal is to help reduce time and memory usage of MPI applications.
OpenMP is a framework for parallel programming that utilizes shared memory multiprocessing. It allows users to split their programs into threads that can run simultaneously across multiple processors or processor cores. OpenMP uses compiler directives, runtime libraries, and environment variables to implement parallel regions, shared memory, and thread synchronization. It is commonly used with C/C++ and Fortran to parallelize loops and speed up computationally intensive programs. A real experiment showed a nested for loop running 3.4x faster when parallelized with OpenMP compared to running sequentially.
C++ and OpenMP can be used together to create fast and maintainable parallel programs. However, there are some challenges to parallelizing C++ code using OpenMP due to inconsistencies between the C++ and OpenMP specifications. Objects used in OpenMP clauses like shared, private, and firstprivate require special handling of constructors, destructors, and assignment operators. Parallelizing C++ loops can also be problematic if the loop index is not an integer type or if the loop uses STL iterators. STL containers introduce additional issues for parallelization related to initialization and data distribution across processors.
The document discusses setting up a 4-node MPI Raspberry Pi cluster and Hadoop cluster. It describes the hardware and software needed for the MPI cluster, including 4 Raspberry Pi 3 boards, Ethernet cables, micro SD cards, and MPI software. It also provides an overview of Hadoop, a framework for distributed storage and processing of big data, noting its origins from Google papers and use by companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Netflix.
Migration To Multi Core - Parallel Programming ModelsZvi Avraham

The document provides an introduction to OpenMP, which is an application programming interface for explicit, portable, shared-memory parallel programming in C/C++ and Fortran. OpenMP consists of compiler directives, runtime calls, and environment variables that are supported by major compilers. It is designed for multi-processor and multi-core shared memory machines, where parallelism is accomplished through threads. Programmers have full control over parallelization through compiler directives that control how the program works, including forking threads, work sharing, synchronization, and data environment.
Concurrent Programming OpenMP @ Distributed System DiscussionCherryBerry2
This powerpoint presentation discusses OpenMP, a programming interface that allows for parallel programming on shared memory architectures. It covers the basic architecture of OpenMP, its core elements like directives and runtime routines, advantages like portability, and disadvantages like potential synchronization bugs. Examples are provided of using OpenMP directives to parallelize a simple "Hello World" program across multiple threads. Fine-grained and coarse-grained parallelism are also defined.
OpenMP is a portable programming model that allows for parallel programming on shared memory architectures. It utilizes multithreading and shared memory to parallelize serial programs. OpenMP uses compiler directives, runtime libraries, and environment variables to parallelize loops and sections of code. It uses a fork-join model where the master thread forks additional threads to run portions of the program concurrently using shared memory. OpenMP provides a way to incrementally parallelize programs and is supported across many platforms.
TNT (a widely used program for phylogenetic analysis) already has PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) for parallel jobs handling. However:
- MPI remains the dominant model used in high-performance computing today. It has become a de facto standard for communication among processes that model a parallel program.
- Actual supercomputers such as computer Clusters often run such programs.
The project goal was to integrate MPI onto TNT and next to PVM. The user decides one or the other. Syntax and commands are practically the same.
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) allows parallel applications to communicate between processes using message passing. MPI programs initialize and finalize a communication environment, and most communication occurs through point-to-point send and receive operations between processes. Collective communication routines like broadcast, scatter, and gather allow all processes to participate in the communication.
OpenMP is an application programming interface that supports multi-platform shared memory parallel programming in C/C++ and Fortran. The OpenMP API was first released in 1997 with specifications for Fortran and later expanded to include C/C++. Version 3.0 of OpenMP, released in 2008, introduced tasks and task constructs to the API. OpenMP uses compiler directives to define parallel regions that can be executed concurrently by multiple threads, allowing for nested parallelism. It supports dynamic allocation of threads but leaves input/output and memory consistency handling to the programmer.

Pragmatic optimization in modern programming - modern computer architecture c...Marina Kolpakova
There are three key aspects of computer architecture: instruction set architecture, microarchitecture, and hardware design. Modern architectures aim to either hide latency or maximize throughput. Reduced instruction set computers (RISC) became popular due to simpler decoding and pipelining allowing higher clock speeds. While complex instruction set computers (CISC) focused on code density, RISC architectures are now dominant due to their efficiency. Very long instruction word (VLIW) and vector processors targeted specialized workloads but their concepts influence modern designs. Load-store RISC architectures with fixed-width instructions and minimal addressing modes provide an optimal balance between performance and efficiency.
OpenMP is an API used for multi-threaded parallel programming on shared memory machines. It uses compiler directives, runtime libraries and environment variables. OpenMP supports C/C++ and Fortran. The programming model uses a fork-join execution model with explicit parallelism defined by the programmer. Compiler directives like #pragma omp parallel are used to define parallel regions. Work is shared between threads using constructs like for, sections and tasks. Synchronization is implemented using barriers, critical sections and locks.
The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 1 of an assembly language textbook, including:
1) It introduces assembly language and discusses how it relates to both machine language and higher-level languages like C++ and Java.
2) It describes the virtual machine concept and different levels of abstraction in a computer system from high-level languages down to digital logic.
3) It covers data representation in computers including binary, hexadecimal, integer, and character representation and conversions between numbering systems.

Computer languages allow humans to communicate with computers through programming. There are different types of computer languages at different levels of abstraction from machine language up to high-level languages. High-level languages are closer to human language while low-level languages are closer to machine-readable code. Programs written in high-level languages require compilers or interpreters to convert them to machine-readable code that can be executed by computers.

Performance Optimization of SPH Algorithms for Multi/Many-Core ArchitecturesDr. Fabio Baruffa
In the framework of the Intel Parallel Computing Centre at the Research Campus Garching in Munich, our group at LRZ presents recent results on performance optimization of Gadget-3, a widely used community code for computational astrophysics. We identify and isolate a sample code kernel, which is representative of a typical Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm and focus on threading parallelism optimization, change of the data layout into Structure of Arrays (SoA), compiler auto-vectorization and algorithmic improvements in the particle sorting. We measure lower execution time and improved threading scalability both on Intel Xeon (2.6× on Ivy Bridge) and Xeon Phi (13.7× on Knights Corner) systems. First tests on second generation Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) demonstrate the portability of the devised optimization solutions to upcoming architectures.
Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future direct...inside-BigData.com
In this deck from IWOCL / SYCLcon 2020, Hal Finkel from Argonne National Laboratory presents: Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future directions.
"Argonne National Laboratory’s Leadership Computing Facility will be home to Aurora, our first exascale supercomputer. Aurora promises to take scientific computing to a whole new level, and scientists and engineers from many different fields will take advantage of Aurora’s unprecedented computational capabilities to push the boundaries of human knowledge. In addition, Aurora’s support for advanced machine-learning and big-data computations will enable scientific workflows incorporating these techniques along with traditional HPC algorithms. Programming the state-of-the-art hardware in Aurora will be accomplished using state-of-the-art programming models. Some of these models, such as OpenMP, are long-established in the HPC ecosystem. Other models, such as Intel’s oneAPI, based on SYCL, are relatively-new models constructed with the benefit of significant experience. Many applications will not use these models directly, but rather, will use C++ abstraction libraries such as Kokkos or RAJA. Python will also be a common entry point to high-performance capabilities. As we look toward the future, features in the C++ standard itself will become increasingly relevant for accessing the extreme parallelism of exascale platforms.
This presentation will summarize the experiences of our team as we prepare for Aurora, exploring how to port applications to Aurora’s architecture and programming models, and distilling the challenges and best practices we’ve developed to date. oneAPI/SYCL and OpenMP are both critical models in these efforts, and while the ecosystem for Aurora has yet to mature, we’ve already had a great deal of success. Importantly, we are not passive recipients of programming models developed by others. Our team works not only with vendor-provided compilers and tools, but also develops improved open-source LLVM-based technologies that feed both open-source and vendor-provided capabilities. In addition, we actively participate in the standardization of OpenMP, SYCL, and C++. To conclude, I’ll share our thoughts on how these models can best develop in the future to support exascale-class systems."

Containerizing HPC and AI applications using E4S and Performance Monitor toolGanesan Narayanasamy
The DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Software Technology focus area is developing an HPC software ecosystem that will enable the efficient and performant execution of exascale applications. Through the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S) [https://e4s.io], it is developing a comprehensive and coherent software stack that will enable application developers to productively write highly parallel applications that can portably target diverse exascale architectures. E4S provides both source builds through the Spack platform and a set of containers that feature a broad collection of HPC software packages. E4S exists to accelerate the development, deployment, and use of HPC software, lowering the barriers for HPC users. It provides container images, build manifests, and turn-key, from-source builds of popular HPC software packages developed as Software Development Kits (SDKs). This effort includes a broad range of areas including programming models and runtimes (MPICH, Kokkos, RAJA, OpenMPI), development tools (TAU, HPCToolkit, PAPI), math libraries (PETSc, Trilinos), data and visualization tools (Adios, HDF5, Paraview), and compilers (LLVM), all available through the Spack package manager. It will describe the community engagements and interactions that led to the many artifacts produced by E4S. It will introduce the E4S containers are being deployed at the HPC systems at DOE national laboratories using Singularity, Shifter, and Charliecloud container runtimes.
This talk will describe how E4S can support the OpenPOWER platform with NVIDIA GPUs.

DOE Exascale Computing Project (EC) Software Technology focus area
is developing an HPC software ecosystem that will enable the efficient
and performant execution of exascale applications. Through the
Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S), it is developing a
comprehensive and coherent software stack that will enable application
developers to productively write highly parallel applications that can
portably target diverse exascale architectures - including the IBM
OpenPOWER with NVIDIA GPU systems. E4S features a broad collection of
HPC software packages including the TAU Performance System(R) for
performance evaluation of HPC and AI/ML codes. TAU is a versatile
profiling and tracing toolkit that supports performance engineering of
codes written for CPU and GPUs and has support for most IBM platforms.
This talk will give an overview of TAU and E4S and how developers can
use these tools to analyze the performance of their codes. TAU supports
transparent instrumentation of codes without modifying the application
binary. The talk will describe TAU's support for CUDA, OpenACC, pthread,
OpenMP, Kokkos, and MPI applications. It will describe TAU's use for
Python based frameworks such as Tensorflow and PyTorch. It will cover
the use of TAU in E4S containers using Docker and Singularity runtimes
under ppc64le. E4S provides both source builds through the Spack
platform and a set of containers that feature a broad collection of HPC
software packages. E4S exists to accelerate the development, deployment, and use of HPC software, lowering the barriers for HPC users.
Linux provides powerful multiplexing capabilities through file descriptors and APIs like epoll. Multiplexing allows a single thread to handle multiple I/O operations simultaneously. File descriptors can represent network sockets, pipes, timers, signals and more. The epoll API in particular provides efficient waiting on large numbers of file descriptors in kernel space. This allows applications to achieve high concurrency with fewer threads than alternative approaches like multi-threading.
This document provides an overview of parallel and distributed computing using GPUs. It discusses GPU architecture and how GPUs are designed for massively parallel processing using hundreds of smaller cores compared to CPUs which use 4-8 larger cores. The document also covers GPU memory hierarchy, programming GPUs using OpenCL, and key concepts like work items, work groups, and occupancy which is keeping GPU compute units busy with work to process.
The document discusses challenges in GPU compilers. It begins with introductions and abbreviations. It then outlines the topics to be covered: a brief history of GPUs, what makes GPUs special, how to program GPUs, writing a GPU compiler including front-end, middle-end, and back-end aspects, and a few words about graphics. Key points are that GPUs are massively data-parallel, execute instructions in lockstep, and require supporting new language features like OpenCL as well as optimizing for and mapping to the GPU hardware architecture.
This document discusses building a virtual platform for the OpenRISC architecture using SystemC and transaction-level modeling. It covers setting up the toolchain, writing test programs, and simulating the platform using event-driven or cycle-accurate simulation with Icarus Verilog or the Vorpsoc simulator. The virtual platform allows fast development and debugging of OpenRISC code without requiring physical hardware.
Some random graphs for network models - Birgit PlötzenederBirgit Plötzeneder
The document summarizes several random graph models:
1) Erdös and Renyi proposed connecting nodes with probability p, resulting in bell-shaped degree distributions.
2) Watts and Strogatz modeled small-world networks by rewiring edges in a ring lattice with probability p, finding short paths like social networks.
3) Barabasi and Albert grew networks by preferentially attaching new nodes to popular existing nodes, producing scale-free networks with power-law degree distributions and hubs.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
