PRACE Summer School: Taking the Most Out of Supercomputers
The main auditorium of CSC at Keilaranta 14, Espoo, Finland
29 August - 2 September 2011


In the PRACE Summer School the participants will learn advanced programming skills, which are necessary for getting the most out of the largest ("Tier-0") supercomputers.

The school will cover the following topics, addressed with lectures and related hands-on exercise ("lab") sessions.

- Advanced features of the message-passing interface
- Hybrid message passing + shared memory programming
- Using GPGPUs in high-performance systems - CUDA+MPI programming
- Performance analysis tools for massively parallel applications
- Using Python in high-performance computing
- Low-level (assembler) serial code optimization

In addition to these, four scientific case studies concerning using the top-end HPC systems to solve the most challenging problems will be presented by European top researchers

The exercises will be carried out on a brand new Cray XE6 system in PDC, Sweden as well as on CSC's Cray XT4/XT5 system Louhi.

Prerequisites
Intermediate skills and experience in parallel programming

Price:
Free of charge
The school is free of charge but an application for participation is required. Morning and afternoon coffees will be served; lunches can be purchased at the local restaurants for 8-10 euros. The restaurants in the Otaniemi campus (Aalto University) are within a walking distance. The evening caterings (welcoming drinks, refreshments in the poster session and the dinner) will also be free of charge.
