Description
The sixth annual Iowa High Performance Computing (IHPC) Summer School is a three-day summer school for graduate students from the University of Iowa aiming to give students hands-on experience running parallel algorithms on a shared high performance computing cluster at the University of Iowa. Funded by the National Science Foundation and hosted by the University of Iowa, this summer school assembles faculty members from the University of Iowa to teach courses on:
- The Basics of Designing High Performance Computing Algorithms
- Parallelization using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) Library
- Multi-threading using the OpenMP Library
- GPU Computing and CUDA Programming
- 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.
