Applications open for HPC summer school

Applications are now open for the seventh International Summer School on HPC (High Performance Computing) Challenges in Computational Sciences.

All graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from institutions in Europe, Canada, Japan and the US are welcome to apply for the event, which is to be held from 26 June to 1 July in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Throughout the summer school, leading European, Canadian, Japanese and US computational scientists and HPC technologists will offer instruction on a number of topics, amongst them HPC challenges by discipline (e.g. Earth, life and materials sciences), HPC programming proficiencies, performance analysis and profiling, algorithmic approaches and numerical libraries, data-intensive computing, scientific visualisation, and Canadian, EU, Japanese and US HPC infrastructures.

The programme will benefit advanced scholars from European, Canadian, Japanese and US institutions who use HPC to conduct research, and is sponsored by Compute/Calcul Canada, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment with funds from the US National Science Foundation, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, and the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science.

Applications are due by 15 February.
