Iowa High Performance Computing Summer School
Date: Tuesday and Wednesday, May 25th-26th, 2010Time: 8:30am to 5:00pm
Location: 2523 UCC Training Room
Description
The second annual Iowa High Performance Computing (IHPC) Summer School is a two-day summer school for University of Iowa graduate students aims to give students hands-on experience running parallel algorithms, both locally on a shared high performance computing cluster at the University of Iowa, and remotely on computers at a national supercomputing center. In addition to lectures and hands-on demonstrations, students will work together to complete a parallel programming homework assignment.
Members of the University of Iowa faculty will teach courses on:
- The Basics of Designing High Performance Computing Algorithms
- Parallelization using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) Libraries
- Optimization of Parallel Performance
- Management of a High Performance Computing Research Program
Competency in scientific computer programming in a version of either Fortran or C is a prerequisite for this school, but familiarity with parallel programming is not required.
