This site includes introductory information to parallel programming using the two most common programming models: OpenMP and MPI. The material for each programming model is designed to be self-contained, meaning you are free to begin with whichever you find more interesting. If you do not have a preference I would recommend beginning with OpenMP.

To provide structure to each topic, both programming models are divided into modules. Each module is designed to be relatively short and thoroughly cover one specific topic. Try to understand each module before moving forward as later modules will build upon concepts presented in earlier ones. So it is highly recommended that you follow the modules in the order in which they are listed.

Finally, please note that this course is still in the construction stage so you can expect content to be added, removed, and reorganized without notice. However, the OpenMP course, while not in its final version, should contain the basics to get you started.

All the best,

- Joe
