A tutorial on GASPI will be held at HLRS, on the 30. January 2014. This is a good opportunity to get to know the GASPI specification and get some hands-on experience with GPI-2.
Abstract
In this tutorial we present an asynchronous dataflow programming model for Partitioned Global Address Spaces (PGAS) as an alternative to the programming model of MPI. GASPI, which stands for Global Address Space Programming Interface, is a partitioned global address space (PGAS) API. The GASPI API is designed as a C/C++/Fortran library and focused on three key objectives: scalability, flexibility and fault tolerance. In order to achieve its much improved scaling behaviour GASPI aims at asynchronous dataflow with remote completion, rather than bulk-synchronous message exchanges. GASPI follows a single/multiple program multiple data (SPMD/MPMD) approach and offers a small, yet powerful API. GASPI is successfully used in academic and industrial simulation applications.
Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of GASPI.
