SUMMARY:Storms of High-Energy Particles: An assignment for OpenMP, MPI, an
 d CUDA/OpenCL
DESCRIPTION:Arturo Gonzalez-Escribano and Eduardo Rodriguez-Gutiez (Univer
 sity of Valladolid)\n\nWe present an assignment used in a Parallel Computi
 ng course to teach the approaches to the same problem in different paralle
 l programming models. It targets basic concepts of shared-memory programmi
 ng with OpenMP, distributed-memory programming with MPI, and GPU programmi
 ng with CUDA or OpenCL. This assignment is based on a highly simplified si
 mulation of the impact of high-energy particle storms in an exposed surfac
 e. The idea is inspired by simulations to test the robustness of space-ves
 sels material. The program is designed from scratch to be simply, easy to 
 understand by students, and to include specific parallel structures and op
 timization opportunities. A simple parallelization in the three models con
 sidered is quite direct. But the program is plenty of opportunities for fu
 rther improvements, optimizations, and more sophisticated techniques usage
 . It has been successfully used in parallel programming contests during ou
 r course, using the performance obtained by the students code as a measure
  of success.\n\nTag: Diversity, Education\n\nRegistration Category: Worksh
