Using MPI-2: A Problem-Based Approach

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface (EuroPVM/MPI 2007)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 4757))

Abstract

MPI-2 introduced many new capabilities, including dynamic process management, one-sided communication, and parallel I/O. Implementations of these features are becoming widespread. This tutorial shows how to use these features by showing all of the steps involved in designing, coding, and tuning solutions to specific problems. The problems are chosen for their practical use in applications as well as for their ability to illustrate specific MPI-2 topics. Complete examples that illustrate the use of MPI one-sided communication and MPI parallel I/O will be discussed and full source code will be made available to the attendees. Each example will include a hands-on lab session; these sessions will also introduce the use of performance and correctness debugging tools that are available for the MPI environment. Guidance on tuning MPI programs will be included, with examples and data from MPI implementations on a variety of parallel systems, including Sun, IBM, SGI, and clusters. Examples in C, Fortran, and C++ will be included. Familiarity with basic MPI usage will be assumed.
