Location:	LRZ Building, University campus Garching, near Munich
Contents:	In this add-on course to the parallel programming course special topics are treated in more depth, in particular performance analysis, I/O and PGAS concepts. It is provided in collaboration of Erlangen Regional Computing Centre (RRZE) and LRZ within KONWIHR. The course is a PRACE Advanced Training Center event. Each day is comprised of approximately 5 hours of lectures and 2 hours of hands-on sessions. Tentative schedule: Day 1 (09:00-17:30) Parallel I/O with MPI IO (Wittmann) Tuning I/O on LRZ's HPC systems (Mendez) Portability of I/O: NetCDF and PnetCDF (Mendez) Day 2 (09:00-17:30) Portability of I/O: HDF5 (Mendez) SIONlib: Scalable I/O library (Mendez) Introduction into Intel Xeon Phi Programming (Weinberg) Day 3 (09:00-17:30) Processor-Specific Optimization (Eitzinger) Day 4 (10:00-14:30) PGAS programming with coarray Fortran and Unified Parallel C (Block) Guided SuperMUC tour (Weinberg)
