Node Level Performance Optimization

Description This course includes topics on code optimization for x86 platforms (Intel and AMD CPUs) and efficient code parallelization on node-level using OpenMP threading. Advanced aspects of threading and optimization, such as selected topics of new features in OpenMP 5.0 standard, will be covered during the course. Learning outcome - Awareness of modern features in x86 CPUs; - Ability to vectorize computations; - Ability to use advanced features of OpenMP; - Ability to increase code performance using threading and x86 optimization. Prerequisites and content level - Good knowledge of C/C++ or Fortran; - Good knowledge of threading using OpenMP; - Basic knowledge of modern CPU architectures. The content level of the course is broken down as: beginner's - 0%, intermediate - 20%, advanced - 80%, community-targeted content - 0%
