ITS - Research Services hosts a two-day intensive workshop on Parallel Computing with Message Passing Interface (MPI). This workshop will be led by experts from the Pittsburg Supercomputing Center and will take place in a training room equipped with two-way video communication between participants and the lecturer. Please note that all participants must be at the hosting location as there will be no option for individual remote participation via video call (e.g., Zoom). ITS-RS staff will assist participants with any technical issues and the exercises. 

This workshop will cover introductory to advanced levels of code parallelization using MPI, which will help gain insight into high-performance computing and enhance computational research projects. For hands-on exercises, all participants should have an ACCESS ID (you will apply for it if you don't have it yet as described on the registration page) and will have access to the supercomputing facility at PSC, Bridges-2, temporarily for the exercise.  Please don't forget to send an email to Tom Maiden at PSC to complete the registration (the email address is listed in the registration link below). 

Prior coding and Linux experiences are helpful but not critical to attend this workshop. Please bring your laptop and charging cable to keep connected during the workshop. 

Due to the space limitation, we can only offer 20 seats for this event. 

Note that the workshop will begin at 10 a.m. (CST) although it is listed in Eastern Time on the registration link below. 

To register, please visit this PSC link and follow the guidelines. If you need help or clarification, please feel free to contact research-computing@uiowa.edu .
