ParaPhrase 2014 - International Summer School in Parallel Patterns

The “International Summer School in Parallel Patterns” will deliver a mix of keynotes, lectures and hands-on sessions in the domain of parallel patterns. The event will be organised over four days and open to postgraduate students (MSc, PhD), young researchers, software developers and application programmers interested in applying the structured parallel computing to their research.
The School aims to create a forum for international participants to discuss their research work and share their experience and to promote the vision of “ParaPhrase project: Parallel Patterns for Adaptive Heterogeneous Multicore Systems” (http://paraphrase-ict.eu) project among scientists from academia and industry.
