The focus of this course is on the concept of performing I/O operations (reading/writing from/to file) in parallel, as well as demonstrating the usage of common libraries to perform such parallel I/O tasks. This course will start with an introduction of different parallel I/O strategies. It will then cover the NetCDF-4 and HDF5 libraries. Lastly, optimisation potential and best practices for parallel I/O are discussed.
The three half-day course consist of lectures as well as practical exercises on implementing the techniques presented in the course.
Note: This is an introductory course into an advanced topic. Familiarity with HPC and parallel programming are prerequisite.
