Parallel I/O and Portable Data Formats
An online 3-day training on parallel I/O operations will be organized by the Jülich Supercomputing Center on 26-28 October 2026.
The focus of this course is on the concept of performing I/O operations (reading/writing from/to files) in parallel, as well as demonstrating the usage of common libraries to perform such parallel I/O tasks. This course will start with an introduction to different parallel I/O strategies. It will then cover the NetCDF-4 and HDF5 libraries. Lastly, optimization potential and best practices for parallel I/O are discussed.
The three half-day courses consist of lectures as well as practical exercises on implementing the techniques presented in the course. The target audience for this training is supercomputer users and developers of parallel applications.
