issue 05

Dear colleagues,
This issue of our newsletter contains just the announcement for a spring school which may be of interest to some of you. It is reproduced here “as is”.
> ===================================================================
>
> ADVANCED SCHOOL ON HIGH PERFORMANCE AND GRID COMPUTING
>
> Venue: International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP),
Trieste, Italy
> Dates: 11 - 22 April 2011
> Organizers: Stefano Cozzini, Antun Balaz, Giuliano Taffoni
>
> The school aims to bring together young researchers and PhD
students with
> already strong knowledge in programming, HPC and/or GRID computing,
and to
> provide them with key additional skills necessary to identify and
use the
> right computing infrastructure, to run their numerical simulations
and to
> solve computationally intensive problems. Topics will include:
> optimization and parallelization of scientific algorithms and
codes,
> OpenMP/MPI hybrid programming techniques, advanced numerical tools
and
> libraries, data management, GPGPU role in HPC, interoperability
issues
> among different computational infrastructures, Grid computing,
design and
> installation of medium size computational facilities.
>
> The school will be held for a period of two weeks. The first week
will be
> dedicated to an advanced introduction to e-Infrastructures for HPC
and
> GRID computing, with the emphasis on their practical use.
Theoretical
> lectures will be combined with the practical exercises in computer
labs
> where students will practice the concepts discussed during the
lectures.
> The second week will be dedicated to the work on short individual
and/or
> group research projects by the participants. Also a number of short
> seminar lectures on advanced topics will be presented by HPC and
GRID
> experts.
>
> The participants are expected to work actively on their own
specific
> computational problems, adapting them to the e-Infrastructure
environment
> of their choice. Please note that the selection process will be
based on
> the scientific relevance and excellence of short research projects
of
> applicants, which have be submitted together with the application
form.
> The prospective participants are expected to be experienced Linux
users.
> Some background in using HPC and/or GRID infrastructure is needed
to fully
> benefit from this school.
>
> A number of grants covering accommodation and/or travel costs will
be
> provided by ICTP to successful applicants. For more details, please
