- Experience in programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran
Audience
- Developers
- Programmers
MPICH is an open-source, portable message passing interface (MPI) standard that provides a simplified MPI implementation in various computation and communication platforms.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers and programmers who wish to install, configure, and manage MPICH features.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to implement, write, manage, and monitor MPI programs using MPICH.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
Course Customization Options
