This 3 day seminar will be given by Ruud van der Pas, one of the performance specialists in the Sun HPC team, and hosted by the Customer Benchmarking HPC Center in Hillsboro, Oregon. Besides an excellent technical staff, the Center hosts Sun Fire servers used by Sun benchmark engineers and SEs worldwide.
The seminar will focus on Sun's UltraSPARC processor family, but also provides information that is generally applicable. The following topics will be covered in detail:
- The memory hierarchy in RISC cache based systems
- The following Sun Forte Developer components:
- The Fortran and C compilers
- The Performance Library
- The Performance Analyzer
- Microprocessor and server architectures
- Serial optimization techniques
- Modulo Scheduling
- Introduction into Parallelization
- Shared Memory Parallelization
- Data Dependency Analysis
- Automatic Parallelization
- Explicit Parallelization using OpenMP
You will have time to experiment with the information and techniques presented during labs.
Attendees should be comfortable with C or Fortran programming and interested in learning more about the technical details of application tuning. Although there is no special coverage of C++ and many examples are in Fortran, C and C++ programmers will certainly benefit from this course as well.
The seminar is open to Sun customers, partners and employees. Seating is limited.
The seminar is organized and sponsored by Sun Microsystems. There is no seminar fee, but all other costs (i.e. travel and per diem) are at your own expense.
