Dear HPC users of LRZ, also this year LRZ will offer a basic (@RRZE) and an advanced Parallel Programming HPC course (@LRZ), organised in collaboration with the Erlangen Regional Computing Centre (RRZE). NEW: We are happy to announce that there will be a video transmission of the basic Parallel Programming HPC course at RRZE to LRZ in Garching b. München (lecture room, H.E.009, 7.-11.3.2016, 09:00-18:00). We invite all interested users in the Munich area to join the transmission. Since there are many places available in the lecture hall, there is no registration deadline for the video transmission, however we would greatly appreciate it if you could send an E-mail to weinberg@lrz.de<mailto:weinberg@lrz.de> if you want to join the transmission at LRZ and have not registered yet. Please mind that there will be no hands-on sessions at LRZ. ________________________________ The basic course "Parallel Programming of High Performance Systems" will take place at RRZE in Erlangen, Monday, March 07 - Friday, March 11, 2016, 9:00-18:00 Topics: HPC, parallel programming models (MPI, OpenMP), software engineering, processor architectures, principles of code optimisation, parallel architectures and algorithms, HPC tools, ... See https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2016-03-07_hppb1w15/ for details. ________________________________ The advanced course "PRACE PATC Course: Advanced Topics in High Performance Computing" will take place at LRZ, Monday, April 4 - Thursday, April 7, 2016, 9:00-18:00 Topics: Processor-specific optimisation, parallel I/O with MPI I/O, tuning of I/O on LRZ's HPC systems, Intel Xeon Phi programming, PGAS programming, ... See https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2016-04-04_hppa1s16/ for details. Registration deadline: 21.3.2016. ________________________________ We would like to invite you to participate in this series of parallel programming courses. Please also pass this course announcement to other interested colleagues. Especially new users are highly encouraged to participate in our parallel programming courses. LRZ is part of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), which is one of the six PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATCs) that started in 2012.
