RSS Feed Introduction to Terascale Code Development
Pittsburgh, PA
September 13-14, 2004
PSC’s workshop series “Introduction To Terascale Code Development” aims to enhance the ability of the nation’s computational science and engineering community to effectively use leading edge computing systems, such as the NSF Terascale Computing System (TCS) at PSC. The workshops are open to all researchers who would like to develop optimized codes for massive parallelism.
Aimed at scientists and engineers, including current users of TCS and other large systems such as those offered via the NSF’s PACI and TeraGrid programs, these two-day workshops will build on MPI classes offered by PACI and others.
The workshop incorporates both lectures and extensive hands-on lab sessions. Programming exercises are carefully designed to reinforce concepts and techniques taught in class. Our instructors have strong scientific and technical backgrounds and are available for individual consultation during lab sessions.
- A working knowledge of FORTRAN or C and UNIX is required.
- Parallel computing experience is recommended.
Agenda
Lecture notes will be placed online as they become available.
