DESCRIPTION:The sixth edition of the Programming and Tuning Massively Paral
 lel Systems summer school (PUMPS) is aimed at enriching the skills of rese
 archers\, graduate students and teachers with cutting-edge technique and h
 ands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors wit
 h massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.\n\nSummer 
 School Co-Directors: Mateo Valero (BSC and UPC) and Wen-mei Hwu (Universit
 y of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)\n\nOrganized by:\n\nBarcelona Supercomp
 uting Center (BSC)\n\nUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Universi
 ty of Illinois)\n\n \n\nUniversitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC)\n\n \
 n\nHiPEAC Network of Excellence (HiPEAC)\n\n\nObjectives: \n\n\n	Instruct
 ors Wen-mei Hwu (University of Illinois) and David B. Kirk (NVIDIA)\, co-a
 uthors of “Programming Massively Parallel Processors\, A Hands-on Approa
 ch”\, will provide students with knowledge and hands-on experience in de
 veloping applications software for many-core processors\, such as general 
 purpose graphics processing units (GPUs).\n	\n\n	By the end of the summer 
 school\, participants will:\n\n	\n		Be able to design algorithms that are 
 suitable for accelerators.\n		\n		\n		Understand the most important archit
 ectural performance considerations for developing parallel applications.\n
 		\n		\n		Be exposed to computational thinking skills for accelerating app
 lications in science and engineering.\n		\n		\n		Engage computing accelera
 tors on science and engineering breakthroughs.\n		\n	\n \n\nRequirements:
  \n\nPrerequisites for the course are:\n\nC\, C++\, Java\, or equivalent 
 programming knowledge.\n\nSkills in parallel programming will be helpful.\
 n\nSome experience in CUDA programming will be considered very valuable fo
 r application consideration.\n\nVisit the Previous Material section at the
  PUMPS website and spend some time self-learning.  You can also consither
  attending PATC course: Introduction to Programming in CUDA (2 to 6 June)\
 n\nMaterials: \n\nThe course materials are published oon the PUMPS websit
 e\n\nVenue: \n\nBarcelona Supercomputing Center\, Computer Architecture D
 ept. at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya\, Barcelona\, Spain\n\nRegist
 ration: \n\nPlease follow the link to the PUMPS site to apply for a place
  on the course.\n\n\n	Dates:\n\n	\n		Applications due: May 15\, 2015\n\n		
 \n			Due to space limitations\, early application is strongly recommended.
  You may also be suggested to attend an online prerequisite training on ba
 sic CUDA programming before joining PUMPS.\n			\n		\n		\n		Notification of
  acceptance: May 30\, 2015\n		\n	\nComments: \n\nPlease apply to the summ
 er school by submitting the PUMPS Application Request Form. Please note th
 at there will be a selection process.\n\nFor more information please visit
