Open MP

Targeted skills

The objective of this course is to provide notions of parallel programming for shared memory, multicore computers using the OpenMP technology. The lectures present the philosophy of the OpenMP programming model and a subset of the OpenMP features including the most commonly used ones such as
- parallel regions
- parallel loops
- synchronizations constructs
- tasks (without and with dependencies)
- locks.

The course includes practice sessions where the concepts presented
in the lectures are used to achieve the parallelization of basic algorithms.
