ATPESC to mark its 10th anniversary

By Anna Marie Tomczyk | Feburary 18, 2022 Many early career scientists, eager to learn to use the world’s most powerful supercomputers, anticipate acquiring essential skills for their careers in the computational science and engineering world by participating in the Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC). Hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) […]

Virtual Argonne training program prepares researchers for extreme-scale computing

By Ginger Reilly | October 12, 2020 The eighth annual Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC), an intensive, two-week program that teaches participants the skills needed to use the world’s most powerful supercomputers, was held virtually for the first time this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our options were to either postpone the program — with […]

Argonne training program prepares researchers for scientific computing in the exascale era

Petro Junior Milan tears his eyes from his laptop and flexes his fingers, giving them a few seconds’ reprieve from his nearly 11 days of nonstop typing at the 2019 Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC), an annual event organized by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and funded by DOE’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP). Around […]

Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing scheduled for July 29-August 10, 2018

Computational scientists now have the opportunity to apply for the upcoming Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC), to take place from July 29-August 10, 2018. 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 […]

Leaning into the supercomputing learning curve

What would you do with a supercomputer that is at least 50 times faster than today’s fastest machines? For scientists and engineers, the emerging age of exascale computing opens a universe of possibilities to simulate experiments and analyze reams of data — potentially enabling, for example, models of atomic structures that lead to cures for […]

Training a New Generation of Supercomputer Users

High-performance computing (HPC) education is essential to our community. From evolving programming techniques and numerical algorithms to transformations in HPC architectures and software, our world is moving fast as we continue progressing toward the Exascale Era. But are we ready for it? Using supercomputers for computational science and engineering (CSE) requires expertise that is not […]
