2015 Summer School on HPC Challenges in Computational Sciences

Science and Motivation

Leading computational scientists and HPC technologists will offer instruction on a variety of topics, including: HPC challenges by discipline (e.g., earth, life and materials sciences, physics)

• HPC programming proficiencies
• Performance analysis & profiling
• Algorithmic approaches &numerical libraries
• Data-intensive computing
• Scientific visualization
• Canadian, EU, Japanese and U.S. HPC-infrastructures

The expense-paid program will benefit advanced scholars from Canadian, European, Japanese and U.S. institutions who use HPC to conduct research. Meals, housing, and travel will be covered for the selected participants.

Applications from graduate students and postdocs in all science and engineering fields are welcome. Preference will be given to applicants with parallel programming experience, and a research plan that will benefit from the utilization of high performance computing systems.

Interested people should apply by March 11, 2015.
