PRACE Winter School 2009, Athens

CET
Athens, Greece

Athens, Greece

Description
The Winter School will cover advanced topics such as programming models and optimization techniques, specifics on MPI/OpenMP and hybrid programming, optimization and profiling. The first three days will focus on the thorough presentation and deep understanding of these HPC (High Performance Computing) topics, with morning lectures followed by hands-on training in the afternoon. The last day which is optional for participation, will be dedicated to a novel multiprocessor architecture, with all-day parallel lectures and hands-on training.
