Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from institutions in Canada, Europe, Japan and the United States, are being invited to apply to participate in the 12th International HPC Summer School, to be held June 19-24 in Athens, Greece, hosted by the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE).
The summer school is sponsored by PRACE, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) and the SciNet HPC Consortium.
The summer school will familiarize the best students in computational sciences with major state-of-the-art aspects of HPC and Big Data Analytics for a variety of scientific disciplines, catalyze the formation of networks, provide advanced mentoring, facilitate international exchange and open up further career options.
Leading Canadian, European, Japanese and American computational scientists and HPC technologists will offer instruction in parallel sessions on a variety of topics such as:
HPC and Big Data challenges in major scientific disciplines
HPC programming proficiencies
Performance analysis and profiling
Software engineering
Numerical libraries
Big data analysis and analytics
Deep learning
Scientific visualization
