Introduction to Parallel Programming using OpenMP: Setup

Access to the system is necessary to undertake this course. It is assumed that attendees have a user account or have received a guest training account.

Please follow the instructions below to obtain some example scripts:

1. Download arc_openmp.zip and extract somewhere on Hawk.
2. Extract the zip file and check the extracted directory

For example:

$ wget https://supercomputingwales.github.io/Introduction-to-Parallel-Programming-using-OpenMP/data/arc_openmp.zip
$ unzip arc_openmp.zip
$ ls arc_openmp

A node reservation is created in partition c_compute_mdi1. To access it users need to specify in their job scripts:

#SBATCH --reservation=training
#SBATCH --account=scw1148

OpenMP

If not using Hawk, a modern compiler is required to support OpenMP such as Gcc, Intel or Clang.
