Debugging and Profiling Parallel Programs

Description: This course will introduce the tools for debugging and profiling parallel programs available in SHARCNET. Through a series of hands-on exercises we will learn to find and fix common bugs in MPI, OpenMP, and CUDA programs, and improve efficiency of a parallel code.

Instructor: Sergey Mashchenko, SHARCNET, McMaster University

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of one or more parallel programming platforms (MPI, OpenMP, and/or CUDA).
