The Message Passing Interface is the de facto standard for distributed programming in a scientific context. It is
implemented in libraries that can be used from C/C++/Fortran, although wrappers
for other languages exist as well.

To write efficient code, a thorough understanding
of the semantics of the API is required, this course will emphasize potential
performance hazards and pitfalls. The
strengths and weaknesses of various MPI features are discussed.

In several hands-on sessions, the
participant has the opportunity to experiment.
