For two weeks this summer, a group of 67 students and early career researchers took up residence at Pheasant Run’s Gallery Hall in St. Charles, IL for an arduous training program designed to teach them the key skills and tools needed to efficiently use leading-edge supercomputers.
Packed with technical lectures, hands-on exercises and dinner talks, the 2015 Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) featured an intensive agenda that began with presentations at 8:30 a.m. and ended with optional collaborative sessions that often lasted until 10 p.m.
