International HPC Summer School 2017: applications open

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from institutions in Europe, Canada, Japan and the United States are invited to apply for the eighth International Summer School on HPC Challenges in Computational Sciences, to be held June 25 – 30, 2017, in Boulder, Colorado, United States. The summer school is sponsored by Compute/Calcul Canada, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) and the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (RIKEN AICS).

Leading computational scientists and HPC technologists from the U.S., Europe, Japan and Canada will offer instructions on a variety of topics and also provide advanced mentoring. Topics include:

• HPC challenges by discipline
• HPC Programming Proficiencies
• Performance analysis and profiling
• Algorithmic approaches and numerical libraries
• Data-intensive computing
• Scientific visualization
• Canadian, EU, Japanese and U.S. HPC-infrastructures

Meals and housing will be covered for the selected participants, also support for travel will be given.

The expense-paid program will benefit scholars from Canadian, European, Japanese and U.S. institutions who use advanced computing in their research.

Students from underrepresented groups in computing are highly encouraged to apply (i.e. women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, etc.).

Interested students should apply by March 6th, 2017.
