Course Syllabus:

Perhaps you have learnt you need to learn how to write some parallel code using Message Passing Interface (MPI) for your research? Don't worry, no prior MPI knowledge or experience is needed. MPI programs can be written in C, C++, or Fortran so (obviously, any one of) prior C, C++, and/or Fortran programming experience is needed.

This introductory MPI course will present an overview of what is MPI; what it enables one to do; demonstrate and discuss various MPI programs starting with a simple "Hello World!" program; demonstrate how to compile and run MPI programs; discuss some of the MPI communications API calls; and discuss about how to explore using MPI further beyond this course.
