BSC and UPC currently offer a number of courses covering CUDA architecture and programming languages for parallel computin g. Please contact us for possible collaborations.\n\nThe seventh edition o f the Programming and Tuning Massively Parallel Systems summer school (PUM PS) is aimed at enriching the skills of researchers\, graduate students an d teachers with cutting-edge technique and hands-on experience in developi ng applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.\n\n\n Summer School Co-Directors: Mateo Valero (BSC and UPC) and Wen-mei Hwu (University of Illinois at Urbana-Cha mpaign)\n \n \n Local Organizers: Antonio J. Peña (BSC)\, Victor Garcia ( BSC and UPC)\, and Nacho Navarro (BSC and UPC)\n \n \n Dates:\n\n \n Appl ications due: May 31\, 2016\n\n \n Due to space limitations\, early app lication is strongly recommended. You may also be suggested to attend an o nline prerequisite training on basic CUDA programming before joining PUMPS .\n \n \n \n Notification of acceptance: June 10\, 2016\n \n \n Su mmer school: July 11-15\, 2016\n \n \n\n Organized by:\n\n \n Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)\n \n \n University of Illinois at Urbana-Ch ampaign (University of Illinois)\n \n \n Universitat Politecnica de Cat alunya (UPC)\n \n \n HiPEAC Network of Excellence (HiPEAC)\n \n \n P UMPS is part of this year PRACE Advanced Training Centre program\n \n \n\ n The following is a list of some of the topics that will be covered durin g the course:\n\n \n CUDA Algorithmic Optimization Strategies\n \n \n Dealing with Sparse and Dynamic data\n \n \n Efficiency in Large Data T raversal\n \n \n Reducing Output Interference\n \n \n Controlling Lo ad Imbalance and Divergence\n \n \n Acceleration of Collective Operatio ns\n \n \n Dynamic Parallelism and HyperQ\n \n \n Debugging and Prof iling CUDA Code\n \n \n Multi-GPU Execution\n \n \n Architecture Tre nds and Implications\n \n \n Introduction to OmpSs and to the Paraver a nalysis tool\n \n \n OmpSs: Leveraging GPU/CUDA Programming\n \n \n Hands-on Labs: CUDA Optimizations on Scientific Codes\; OmpSs Programming and Tuning\n \n \n\n Instructors:\n\n \n Distinguished Lecturers: Wen-me i Hwu (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and David Kirk (NVIDIA Corporation )\n \n \n Invited Lecturer: Juan Gómez-Luna (Universidad d e Córdoba)\n \n \n BSC / UPC Lecturers: Xavier Martorell and Xavier Te ruel\n \n \n Teaching Assistants: Abdul Dakkak\, Carl Pearson\, Simon G arcia de Gonzalo\, Marc Jorda\, Pau Farre\, Javier Bueno\, Aimar Rodriguez \n \n \n\n Prerequisites for the course are:\n\n \n Basic CUDA knowledge is required to attend the course. Applicants that cannot certify their ex perience in CUDA programming will be asked to take a short on-line course covering the necessary introductory topics\n \n \n C\, C++\, Java\, or equivalent programming knowledge. Skills in parallel programming will be h elpful\n \n \nPreliminary Overview\n\n\n Registration for the course is f ree. We expect our sponsors will cover academic applicants' marginal expen ses such as meals. Please note that travel and lodging are not covered. Ap plicants from non-academic institutions (companies)\, please contact us at bcw2016@bcw.ac.upc.edu for sponsorship possibilities.\n \n\n By the end o f the summer school\, participants will:\n\n \n Be able to design algorit hms that are suitable for accelerators.\n \n \n Understand the most imp ortant architectural performance considerations for developing parallel ap plications.\n \n \n Be exposed to computational thinking skills for acc elerating applications in science and engineering.\n \n \n Engage compu ting accelerators on science and engineering breakthroughs.\n \n \n\n Pro gramming Languages: CUDA\, MPI\, OmpSs\, OpenCL\n \n \n Hands-on Labs: Aft ernoon labs with teaching assistants for each audience/level.\n\n \n Part icipants are expected to bring their own laptops to access the servers wit h GPU accelerators.\n \n \n The afternoon lab sessions will provide han ds-on experience with various languages and tools covered in the lectures and will comprise a brief introduction to the programming assignments\, fo llowed by independent work periods. Teaching assistants will be available in person and on the web to help with assignments.\n \n \nIn Memoriam - N acho Navarro\n\nWe dedicate this edition of the Summer School to our frien d Nacho Navarro\, who sadly passed away on February 28th\, 2016. He was th e father of this summer school\, organizing it since its very first editio n back in 2010. We invite you to visit the website BSC opened for him: In Memoriam - Nacho Navarro and contribute sharing your experiences with our beloved colleague.\n\n\n\nhttps://events.prace-ri.eu/event/500/ SUMMARY:7th Programming and Tuning Massively Parallel Systems summer school (PUMPS)@BSC - UPC URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/500/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
