Dear users of the Supercomputer and other HPC systems at LRZ, With view on the installation of the next-generation Petaflop-class system SuperMUC at LRZ, a workshop covering the programming environment of this system will start on December 5, 2011 (10:00) in the lecture room H.E.009 in the LRZ building. The first three days are comprised of a comprehensive coverage of Intel s software stack, followed by talks on IBM-specific extensions and software packages (e.g., the LoadLeveler batch scheduler). Please consult http://www.lrz.de/services/compute/ courses/#SuperMUCIntro for details. We ask you to register for the course as soon as possible via the LRZ registration page (please select course HMUC1W11) since registration for this course will close on December 1.
