TUTORIALS:
Two pre-conference tutorials on MPI will be offered on June 29 and 30,
1996. The first tutorial, on June 29, will cover the basics of MPI
including point-to-point and collective communication operations, and
communicators. The second tutorial, on June 30, will pick up where
the first tutorial left off and will cover data types, topologies, and
intercommunicators. Attendees may take either or both of the
tutorials.
Both tutorials will be conducted in one of Notre Dame's SPARC-based
instructional clusters where each attendee will have use of a
workstation throughout the tutorial. The tutorial lectures will be
interspersed with a series of exercises requiring each tutorial
attendee to write, debug, and run MPI-based programs using C or
Fortran.
