Seminario Fronteras de la Computación

May 23rd, 2011

 

El Seminario Fronteras de la Computación  está dirigido especialmente a estudiantes universitarios y a investigadores jóvenes, con la idea de ofrecerles una visión panorámica de distintos temas relacionados con la computación en los que haya I+D activo en España. Las ponencias serán en lengua castellana y se impartirán por prestigiosos investigadores que trabajan tanto en organismos públicos de investigación como en empresas. De esta manera se pretende que los asistentes tengan más criterios de elección sobre los temas en los que desean trabajar y los ámbitos profesionales en los que desean formar parte.

 

Seminario Fronteras de la Computación

Benasque del 17 al 22 de julio de 2011

Barcelona Computing Week 2011

May 16th, 2011

.

The Programming and tUning Massively Parallel Systems Summer School (PUMPS) offers researchers and graduate students a unique opportunity to improve their skills with cutting-edge techniques and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.

Important Dates

Applications due: May 31
Notification of acceptance: June 15
Summer school: July 18-22, 2011

Location: Barcelona Supercomputing Center / Computer Architecture Dept. at  Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
Complete information, program and registration: http://bcw.ac.upc.edu
Contact: bcw2011@bcw.ac.upc.edu

 

Distinguished Lecturers

Wen-mei Hwu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and David Kirk, NVIDIA Fellow, former Chief Scientist, NVIDIA Corporation, co-authors of “Programming Massively Parallel Processors, A Hands-on Approach”.

 

Program

The summer school is organized into two tracks: Beginners and Advanced. The Beginners Track starts off with introductory lectures to CUDA. Advanced participants can chose to attend these introductory lectures, or jump in on the afternoon of the second day when the advanced topics and hands-on laboratories begin. The full list of topics covered during the course is:

* Many-core & Memory Organization
* Introduction to CUDA
* CUDA Threading and Memory Model
* Performance Considerations
* Hands-on Lab: CUDA examples
* CUDA Algorithm Patterns
* Debugging and Profiling CUDA Code
* Hands-on Lab: Advanced Exercises
* New Hardware and Software/SDK/Tool Features
* GMAC Runtime
* Multi-GPU Execution
* Hands-on Lab: GMAC and Multi-GPU
* CUDA with MPI and OmpSs for HPC Applications
* Algorithmic Optimization Strategies
* Hands-on Lab: Algorithmic Optimization

Participants will have access to a multi-node cluster of GPUs, and will learn to program and optimize applications in CUDA, MPI, OmpSs and OpenCL. Teaching assistants will be available to help with assignments.

PUMPS is organized by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya and HiPEAC Network of Excellence.
