DEISA-TeraGrid Summer School in Italy in October

[Scott A. Lathrop]

HPC Challenges in Computational Sciences – Summer School sponsored by
DEISA and TeraGrid

The European Union Seventh Framework Programme’s Distributed European
Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications (DEISA), and the United
States National Science Foundation’s TeraGrid, present a joint EU-US
school on High Performance Computing (HPC) Challenges in Computational
Sciences, October 4-7, 2010 in Acireale, Catania, Italy.

High-level speakers from the US and Europe will address the following
areas in computational science with high relevance for HPC
simulations:

• HPC Challenges and Technology
• Challenges by Scientific Disciplines
• Programming
• Performance Analysis & Profiling
• Algorithmic Approaches & Libraries
• Data Intensive Computing and Visualization

Leading scientists in the fields of astrophysics, materials science,
nanotechnology, quantum chromo dynamics, and plasma physics will
present discipline-related talks. The program will benefit graduate
students and postdoctoral scholars who use high performance computing
to conduct research. For more information on the program and details
of the venue, visit http://www.deisa.eu/Summer-School.

Apply via the web before August 29, 2010:
