Fourth Autumn Academy for HPC

September 15-26, 2014 in Cambridge

The Academy is an intensive two-week course designed to train research workers to start modifying and developing effective and efficient code for applications in High Performance Computing.

Who should attend?

The Autumn Academy is suitable for any researcher who has some familiarity with programming and wishes to start modifying and/or writing code for use on mid and high performance computer resources.

The Academy is particularly well suited to PhD students who are about to start their first or second year of research in any area of Scientific Computing, although we also welcome applications from more experienced researchers.

Supervisors!

Please consider recommending this to students you will have starting in September/October, as well as to those who started since October 2013.

What is covered?

The Academy will lead students through programming (C or Fortran) parallel programming (OpenMP and MPI) program profiling and optimisation, and common numerical analysis methods. Teaching will take place through a mix of lectures and hands-on practicals using both local and national HPC facilities.

Applications and Deadlines

Applications should be submitted via the web site by 17th August 2014

Applications for bursaries (for people working on EPSRC-related projects) should be made by July 1st. (Applications received after this date will be considered only if places and funding is still available)

Who is the HPC Short Courses Consortium?

The HPC short Courses Consortium is a group of 12 UK Universities and the STFC Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus, and was formed in response to an EPSRC call to provide advanced short course training in HPC. The Consortium will also be organising a programme of courses on more advanced HPC topics. More information is available from the web site.

The major sponsor for the academy is the EPSRC
