ARCHER Virtual Tutorial Brief Introduction to Parallel Programming Models June 2014

In this short presentation Andy Turner (EPCC and ARCHER CSE Support) provides a brief outline of the two different parallel programming models in common use on ARCHER: shared memory (through OpenMP) and message passing (through MPI), and an analysis of their strengths and weaknesses. This requires an understanding of how an operating system works with processes and threads, so we provide a high-level overview of these concepts.
