High-performance computing with Python (training course, online)

10 Jun 2024, 09:00 → 14 Jun 2024, 13:00 Europe/Berlin

This course will take place as an online event. The link to the online platform will be provided to the accepted registrants only.

 

Python is increasingly used in high-performance computing projects. It can be used either as a high-level interface to existing HPC applications and libraries, as embedded interpreter, or directly.

This course combines lectures and hands-on sessions. We will show how Python can be used on parallel architectures and how to optimize critical parts of the kernel using various tools.

The following topics will be covered:

• Short review of vectorized programming with NumPy
• Interactive parallel programming with IPython
• Profiling and optimization
• High-performance NumPy
• Just-in-time compilation with numba
• Distributed-memory parallel programming with Python and MPI
• Bindings to other programming languages and HPC libraries
• Interfaces to GPUs

This course is aimed at scientists who wish to explore the productivity gains made possible by Python for HPC.

Language:

This course is given in English.
