Kind invitation to a one-week seminar: -------------- Parallel Programming in Computational Engineering and Science (PPCES) 2017 Monday, March 20 - Friday, March 24, 2017 in Aachen, Germany http://www.itc.rwth-aachen.de/ppces
Introduction: ---------------- This event will continue the tradition of previous annual week-long events that take place in Aachen every spring since 2001.
Throughout the week, we will cover parallel programming using OpenMP (Monday and Tuesday) and MPI (Wednesday and Thursday) in Fortran and C / C++ as well as performance tuning and debugging. Furthermore, we will introduce the participants to GPGPU programming with OpenACC (Friday). Hands-on exercises for each topic will be provided, which should not discourage you from working on your own code.
The topics are presented in a modular way, so that you could pick specific ones and register for the particular days only, in order to let you invest your time as efficiently as possible.
Participants: ---------------- Attendees should be comfortable with C/C++ or Fortran programming and interested in learning more about the technical details of application tuning and parallelization. The presentations will be given in English.
Costs: -------- There is no seminar fee. All other costs (e.g. travel, hotel, and consumption) are at your own expenses.
Location: ------------ IT Center RWTH Aachen University Kopernikusstraße 6 Seminar Rooms 3 + 4
Registration and further information: --------------------------------------------- The seminar rooms are of limited capacity, therefore allocation is on a first come, first served basis. Please register separately for each session you would like to attend. http://www.itc.rwth-aachen.de/ppces The registration is open now. The registration deadline is Monday, March 13, 2017.
Hint: ------ This year PPCES will be followed by the 25th VI-HPS Tuning Workshop. See http://www.vi-hps.org/training/tws/tw25.html for more information. The workshop organized by Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing (VI-HPS) for the German PRACE Advanced Training Centre will take place at the same location on Monday, March 27 - Friday March 31, 2017. It will:
* give an overview of the VI-HPS programming tools suite * explain the functionality of individual tools, and how to use them effectively * offer hands-on experience and expert assistance using the tools
Both events in a row will give a nice opportunity to get up to speed with parallel programming and performance analysis.
