Event/Course Description

PyCOMPSs is a task-based programming in Python that enables simple sequential codes to be executed in parallel in distributed computing platforms. It is based on the addition of python decorators in the functions of the code to indicate those that can be executed in parallel between them. The runtime takes care of the different parallelization and resource management actions, as well as of the ditribution of the data in the different nodes of the computing infrastructure. It is installed in multiple supercomputers of the RES, like MareNostrum 4 and now LaPalma. The talk will present an overview of PyCOMPSs, two demos with simple examples and a hands-on in LaPalma on how we can parallelize EMCEE workloads.
