[LRZ aktuell]

    Date:     July 8-11, 2013 10:00 - 17:00                            
   Location:   LRZ Building, University campus Garching, near Munich    
               (Lecture room H.E.009)                                   
               This four-day workshop gives an introduction to the usage
               of the new Petaflop class Supercomputer at LRZ, SuperMUC.
               The first three days of this are dedicated to            
               presentations by Intel on their software development     
               stack (compilers, tools and libraries); the remaining day
               will be comprised of talks and exercises delivered by IBM
               and LRZ on usage of the IBM-specific aspects of the new  
               system (IBM MPI, LoadLeveler, HPC Toolkit) and           
               recommendations on tuning and optimizing for the new     
               system.
