         systems with Intel Xeon-Phi Coprocessors and NVIDIA GPUs & AMD GPU
         accelerators as well as ARM processor based Linux multi-core
         processor systems.  The aim is to achieve the best performance
         (turnaround time & throughput) and the total power consumption,
         a device or a system needs in order to solve a problem of given
         size for High Performance Computing (HPC) application kernels.

         SMX, Directives - OpenACC, OpenMP 4.0, OpenCL)& extract  the best
         achieved performance  for application kernels on systems with
         coprocessors and accelerators. The workshop gives an opportunity
         to write, execute and demonstrate computational mathematics and
         application kernels using different programming paradigms. The
         workshop is aimed to cover classroom lectures in morning/forenoon
         session and four hours hands-on in afternoon session on every day.
