I like to remind you of the upcoming HPC++ event.
We increased the number of places for the labs,
so additional registrations are possible now.

Tutorial
This tutorial intends to make C++ programmers aware of the strengths
and weaknesses of the C++ programming language in the field of
scientific computing.
It will begin with a short introduction into basic performance
tuning aspects and the Sun programming environment (compilers and
performance analyzer) and will then focus on C++ specific
programming techniques.
Classes, inheritance, operator overloading, and polymorphism are
very suitable and powerful tools for programming at a high level of
abstraction. Unfortunately, especially the use of these concepts is
often very contrary to the expectation of high performance.
Recently, new techniques have been developed that help to bring in
line a high level of abstraction and high performance. Some of
these concepts are template meta-programming, expression templates,
traits classes, partial and lazy evaluation.
During this course the cost of C++ abstractions will be investigated
and thoroughly explained; several solutions to overcome the
abstraction penalty will be presented and applied during the
exercises.
Registration for the Tutorial is mandatory until Sept 15.
Tuning Workshop
In this tuning workshop we are particularly interested in helping
users of our Sun Fire SMP Cluster to improve the efficiency of
their applications.
There is no open registration for the Tuning Workshop.
Participation is after personal consultation only.
Cost
The event is organized in cooperation with the Aachen
University (RWTH), the Research Center Jülich, and Sun
Microsystems. There is no seminar fee. All other costs
(e.g. travel, hotel, and consumptions) are at your own
expenses.
