(GlobalCpp) Saturday C++ : OpenMP

Description

Week 3 and we will be hosting Victor Eijkhout!

Victor will be showcasing OpenMP, a popular threading package for scientific codes. He will shows basic mechanisms and their performance, as well as parallelization of some non-trivial cases.

About the presenter

Victor Eijkhout was brought up as a numerical analyst, coding in Fortran, and proving theorems about the asymptotic behavior of parallel numerical methods. Having passed through a C~phase, these days he mostly writes in C++, both sequential and parallel in various ways. While he doesn't prove many theorems any more, he is still interested in the matters of code performance for finite numbers of processors, and code correctness. He has been employed at the Texas Advanced Computing Center for almost twenty years, supporting research, teaching various aspects of high performance computing, and flexing his programming muscle on 100,000+ core supercomputers.
