VECPAR 2016 - Summer School in Advanced Scientific Computing

This Summer School in Advanced Scientific Computing in Europe, is a week-long workshop which introduces researchers, faculty, staff, students, and industrial partners to high performance computing, data analytics, and scientific visualization. TACC's technology experts will teach attendees how to effectively use advanced computing resources and technologies like Stampede, Maverick, and Wrangler.
This event is appropriate for all skill levels, from new users of advanced computing technologies to those who have research projects requiring powerful computing, visualization, storage or software capabilities.
The courses and lab classes in this Summer School will be supplied by experts in High Performance Computing (HPC) from the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), at Austin, Texas, with experience in similar courses. This Summer School is the unique opportunity of attendance of this course in Europe and the contentes will be similar to those that TACC staff is preparing for the next TACC Summer Supercomputing Institute, using the same course and training materials and accessing the same remote HPC resources at TACC.
Researchers and PG students in Scientific Computing, both from Science and Engineering areas, with a need to efficiently use intensive computing resources, to process and visualize large quantities of data. The attendees should be motivated to take advantage of modern computer architectures based on an increasing number of CPU cores, to better explore their potential.
