PATC course: OpenMP / OpenACC programming, Idris (France), June 20-22, 2012

May 03, 2012
Maison de la Simulation and IDRIS are pleased to announce a training session on directive-based parallel programming tools: OpenMP and OpenACC. OpenMP has become the de-facto standard for multitasks parallel programming on shared memory systems. OpenACC is an emerging standard for parallel computing designed to ease the use of accelerators like GPU, or new many-core processors; that is to allow programmers to create high-level host+accelerator program using directives and libraries to initialize the accelerator, manage data or program transfers between the host and accelerator, or initiate accelerator startup and shutdown.OpenACC is real-wolrd implementation of...Read more

PRACE Summer School on Code Optimisation for Multi-Core and Intel® MIC Architecture, Lugano (CH), June 21-23, 2012

Apr 24, 2012
The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) is pleased to announce the Summer School on Code Optimisation for Multi-Core and Intel® Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre in Lugano, Switzerland. In this three day intensive event participants will focus on programming and tuning techniques for modern multi- and many-core processors with a particular focus on the Intel® Many Integrated Core architecture. Topics will be presented at an advanced level and will include structuring code to enable SIMD/vectorization, efficient usage of register, cache and memory hierarchies, use of multi-threading techniques to maximize resource utilization, data locality...Read more

PATC Course: OpenACC Programming for Parallel Accelerated Supercomputers, Stuttgart (DE), May 14-15, 2012

Apr 12, 2012
HLRS will install a multi-Petaflop system in 2013, which may significantly include accelerators. For this, you can learn and test the OpenACC programming model in this course on our newly installed Cray XK test system. OpenACC is an open standard, as simple as OpenMP, but with a performance opportunity similar to CUDA, and also available on other hardware systems. I hope to awaken your interest in this emerging technology in the area of High Performance Computing (HPC). Two specialists from Cray, Dr. Alistair Hart and Roberto Ansaloni will teach this course and assist you in the hands-on sessions. Abstract: This workshop will cover the programming environment of the Cray XK6 hybrid supercomputer, which...Read more

PATC workshop on Next-Generation Sequencing Techniques

Apr 10, 2012
Petascale computing is not about just flops but "Big Data" seems to be the buzzword du jour. PATC Finland wants to ride the wave and organizes a workshop on next-generation sequencing (NGS) on April 26-27, 2012. For more information, please visit the course page.
