In this course, students will learn to write parallel programs that can be run on a supercomputer. We begin by discussing the concepts of parallelization before introducing MPI and OpenMP, the two leading parallel programming libraries. Finally, the students will put together all the concepts from the class by programming, compiling, and running a parallel code on one of the NERSC supercomputers. Training accounts will be provided for students who have not yet set up a NERSC account.

Indermohan (Inder) S. Monga is the Director of the Scientific Networking Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Executive Director of Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), the Department of Energy’s high-performance network user facility. Optimized for large-scale science, ESnet connects and provides services to more than 50 DOE research sites, including the entire National Laboratory system, its supercomputing facilities, and its major scientific instruments, as well as peers with 271 research and commercial networks worldwide. In addition to managing ESnet, Inder works to advance the science of networking for collaborative and distributed research applications.
Brian Austin's research explores the intersection of scientific computing algorithms and HPC system architecture. This work combines application profiling, performance modeling, workload analysis, and workflow analysis to understand how all levels of the hardware architecture, from core microarchitecture to processors, nodes, interconnect, and infrastructure, influence the productivity of integrated HPC systems. He has over twenty years of experience in HPC and has published more than 40 papers in this field.
A Science Engagement Engineer at NERSC, Lipi works to help users engage with NERSC staff and with each other to bridge gaps in scientific computing. She is interested in improving the new user experience, as well as helping graduate students make better use of NERSC resources in preparation for their careers.
Rebecca Hartman-Baker leads the User Engagement Group at NERSC. She is a computational scientist with expertise in the development of scalable parallel algorithms for the petascale and beyond. Her other research interests include inverse and ill-posed problems, numerical optimization methods, and developing effective techniques for training users of HPC resources.
Charles Lively III, PhD is a Science engagement engineer and HPC Consultant in the User Engagement Group (UEG) under Dr. Rebecca Hartman-Baker at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Charles previously worked at other Department of Energy National Laboratories, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Helen He is a high performance computing consultant in the NERSC User Engagement Group. She is currently the NERSC user training lead. In this role, she leads efforts to strategically plan, host, and develop user training events to provide knowledge to users on resource familiarization, optimized utilization, and skills development for effectively using NERSC resources.
Computational scientist and group leader for the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research involves the development of algorithms and software for solving systems of PDEs using adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) finite volume schemes, high (4th)-order finite volume schemes for conservation laws on mapped meshes, and Chombo development and support.
Staff Scientist and Group Lead of the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I am interested in HPC implementations of multiphysics and multiscale algorithms for PDEs using structured adaptive mesh, particle/mesh, and machine learning algorithms.
