*6th Annual LONI Parallel Programming Workshop*
Date: May 29 - 30, 2017
Time: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Venue: BEC 1615
Website: http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/workshop.php
Registration Fee: None
Registration opens: April 1, 2017
Registration deadline: May 27, 2017

Description:
This workshop will first introduce users to the concepts of Parallel Programming, then cover how those concepts apply to solving problems frequently encountered in numerical studies such as matrix-matrix multiplication or laplacian solver, using the OpenMP/OpenACC shared memory, thread level parallelism. This workshop will be hands-on oriented, so the attendants are expected to have some prior programming experience in C/C++ and/or Fortran.

Schedule (Note: This tentative Schedule is subject to change.)

May 29: Parallel Programming Concepts and Introduction to OpenMP
