TACC Spring School in Advanced Computing

1 May 2009

Advanced Computing program at CoLab is organizing a Spring School.

Advanced Computing program at CoLab is organizing a Spring School with two workshops that will take place at Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST), in Lisbon, and at Universidade do Porto, in Porto. The workshops will be presented by staff from the Texas Advanced Computing Center, TACC, including TACC's Director Jay Boisseau. This Spring School is a collaborative effort between IPFN, IDMEC, CIIST (IST), UPorto and TACC (UT Austin) and the UT Austin|Portugal Program.

The target audience are researchers in computational science & engineering fields wishing to learn and take advantage of high performance cluster computing resources, including those available at TACC, where the largest open science computer system worldwide is located, the Ranger, with over 62,000 cores.

The first workshop at the Centro de Congressos of IST, from May 25 - 27, 2009, aims to introduce basic concepts on parallel programming and scientific visualization, and promote and trigger interaction with one of the leading High Performance Computing Centers in the world, as well as the first contact between Computational Science & Engineering PhD students and TACC.

The second workshop at Universidade do Porto, from May 28 - 29, 2009, addresses optmization issues and advanced visualization topics, and will create the opportunity for the TACC personnel to share their expertise and establish contacts among the Portuguese community in Advanced Computing.

HOW TO APPLY:

Registration for both Workshops will open shortly. More information about the program and how to attend will be available soon: for Lisbon's workshop visit http://taccspringschool.ist.utl.pt and for Porto's workshop visit http://taccspringschool.dcc.fc.up.pt .
