In this course you will learn to harness the computational power of modern multi-core CPUs for your daily scientific computations. OpenMP is a broad standard for shared-memory computing supported by all major compilers. We will cover the most important programming constructs, some correctness and performance bugs, and how to make a realistic assessment of performance.

At the end of the day, you should be able to:
- Parallelize a simple C/C++/Fortran code based on OpenMP parallel loops and tasks
- Understand and avoid deadlocks and race conditions in your code;
- Optimize your code for data locality;
- Recognize and address three types of performance issues:
- Load imbalance
- False sharing
- Non-uniform memory accesses
- Apply the Roofline Model to assess the performance of your code.
Prerequisites
- Command line and DelftBlue basics
- C, C++ or Fortran
