In this add-on course to the parallel programming course special topics are treated in more depth, in particular node-level optimisation, I/O, Intel Xeon Phi and PGAS concepts. It is provided in collaboration of Erlangen Regional Computing Centre (RRZE) and LRZ within KONWIHR.

The course is a PRACE Advanced Training Center event.

Each day is comprised of approximately 5 hours of lectures and 2 hours of hands-on sessions.
