HPC @UPV/EHU

Introduction

Barcelona Computing Week 2014, July 7-11, at BSC/UPC, Barcelona.

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.

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