ARGONNE, Ill., Computational scientists now have the opportunity to apply for the upcoming Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC), to take place from July 31-August 12, 2016.
With the challenges posed by the architecture and software environments of today’s most powerful supercomputers, and even greater complexity on the horizon from next-generation and exascale systems, there is a critical need for specialized, in-depth training for the computational scientists poised to facilitate breakthrough science and engineering using these amazing resources.
This program provides intensive hands-on training on the key skills, approaches and tools to design, implement, and execute computational science and engineering applications on current supercomputers and the HPC systems of the future. As a bridge to that future, this two-week program to be held at the Pheasant Run in suburban Chicago fills many gaps that exist in the training computational scientists typically receive through formal education or shorter courses.
Instructions for applying to the program can be found at http://extremecomputingtraining.anl.gov and the deadline for applicant submissions is March 25, 2016.
Renowned scientists, HPC experts and leaders will serve as lecturers and will guide the hands-on laboratory sessions. The core curriculum will address:
Doctoral students, postdocs, and computational scientists interested in attending ATPESC can review eligibility and application details on the event website.
There are no fees to participate. Domestic airfare, meals, and lodging are provided.
