DESCRIPTION:Python has gained tremendous popularity in scientific computing
  owing to the extensibility of the language\, the rich ecosystem and being
  a convenient languages for scientists to develop and prototype codes prod
 uctively. While using Python may offer many ways to achieve the same resul
 t\, finding the most efficient means to do so for better performance and s
 calability can be a challenge. This course is focused on some of the ways 
 to optimise and parallel scientific Python codes\, encompassing subjects s
 uch as performance analysis\, efficient use of scientific libraries (e.g. 
 NumPy)\, extending Python to use more efficient languages (e.g. Cython) to
  carry out multi-processing using threads and the Message Passing Interfac
 e (MPI) on HPC systems.\n\nThe 4-day course will cover the following topic
 s:\n\n\n	Efficient use of NumPy\n	Performance Analysis\n	Using Cython and 
 optimisations\n	Interfacing with external libraries\n	Multi-processing usi
 ng threads\n	Parallel computing using mpi4py\n	Extra optimisation exercise
 s (common numerical algorithms) on HPC system\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n	Eac
 h participant is expected to have a basic knowledge of Python\, including:
 \n	\n		syntax\n		basic data structures (lists\, arrays\, tuples\, dictiona
 ries)\n		control structures (if-else statements\, for/while loops)\n		func
 tions and modules\n	\n	\n	Every participant is also expected to bring his/
 her own laptop to the course to carry out the hands-on exercises.\n	Some p
 rior experience/knowledge of NumPy and the C programming language will be
  useful but not strictly required.\n\n\nParticipation in the course is fre
 e of charge. Tea\, coffee and light snacks will be provided during breaks.
  Lunch is NOT provided\; there is a restaurant on-site as well as other ea
 teries nearby.\n\n\n \nhttps://events.prace-ri.eu/event/898/
