Programming with SWIFT Scripts
December 3, 2013, 1:00pm-4:00pm
Michael Wilde
Computer Classroom, John Crerar Library
Swift (http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift) is a simple language for writing parallel scripts that run many copies of ordinary programs concurrently. Swift runs multiple programs concurrently as soon as their inputs are available, reducing the need for complex parallel programming. Short, simple Swift scripts can do large-scale work. The same script runs on multicore computers, clusters, grids, clouds, and supercomputers, and is thus an excellent tool for moving your work from a laptop or workstation to the RCC parallel "Midway" cluster. Swift can run a million programs, thousands at a time, launching hundreds per second. It is being used in many fields of science, engineering, and business. This hands-on tutorial will give you a taste of running simple parallel scripts on Midway, and provide pointers for applying it to your own work.
