HPC training events

GPU computing courses at CSC, October 28-29 and November 3-5, Espoo, Finland

As performance gains using interconnected traditional processors are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, alternative processing architectures are emerging. These new architectures, especially graphics processors capable of general purpose computing - have become the most hyped topic in the high-performance computing community. Promising to provide teraflop/s of computing power for a fraction of the power consumption and cost of a conventional system they seem very appealing and are evolving at a rapid pace.

This workshop deals with using graphics processing units (GPUs) for improving research work in the field of molecular modeling. The topics include using the extreme number-crunching power of GPUs to speed up classical molecular dynamics calculations and high-quality, high-throughput visualization of results.

In this 3-day top-class CUDA workshop by CAPS the participants will learn the CUDA programming & streaming model and how to handle multi-GPU applications. The training includes hands-on practical labs where participants will be able to progressively build streamed and multi-GPU applications. This workshop is a must for those who wish to learn CUDA programming model and program high-performance computations with CUDA.

The participants of the CUDA Training workshop will have a chance to obtain an Nvidia C2050 "Fermi" state-of-the-art GPGPU card! One piece will be delivered as a prize in a competition declared during the course.

Complex Flow, September 2-3, Espoo, Finland

The course cover a set of advanced topics in numerical fluid dynamics. Lecturers are leading Finnish researchers lecturing on their own field of expertise. The topics include e.g. multi-phase flow, ice-streams, turbulence, etc. The course requires at least a knowledge level of advanced under-graduate or graduate student in physics or related field of science. The course may include some hands-on sessions and it is focused on algorithms and science problems.
