The PDC Summer School in High-Performance Computing is an annual offering to researchers to improve on their skills in scientific computing. The course is held for its thirteenth consecutive year at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden.
During two intensive summer weeks at the KTH campus students will be able to learn and improve their skills in writing efficient programs for serial and parallel scientific applications. The course will carry four or five academic credits.
The student receives two credits for completing the labs during the course. The student receives two or three additional credits only on completing a post-course project. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own problems or programs for discussion and to possibly use as the basis of the post-course project. Participants are provided with remote access to the PDC Linux clusters such as Ferlin (Dell Harpertown), Lenngren (Dell Xeon), Hebb (IBM Blue Gene), and Key (HP Itanium SMP). Industrial participation is welcome. The number of seats for all participants is limited.
Registration is open on a first-come basis until June 1, 2009, at the below mentioned web page.
A number of topics will be covered in overview lectures given by international experts and in-depth technical lectures followed by hands-on computer lab sessions. The course will consist of about 35 hours of lectures and 35 hours of computer lab sessions. Among the topics:
* Programming Environments at PDC
* Parallel Programming
* Modern Computer Architectures
* Parallel Algorithms
* Efficient Programming
* Case Studies
