Importance: High



The National Computational Science Institute (NCSI) will be hosting a
Parallel and Cluster Computing Workshop July 31st through August 6th at
The University of Oklahoma and you are invited to attend. 

The parallel computing workshop will focus on using parallel and cluster
computing in an educational setting, as well as teaching issues in
parallel computing. Examples suitable for classroom use will be
presented and source code will be made available. Further examples using
publicly available research codes will be used. Cluster installation
tools designed for educational institutions will be presented.
Participants will get an introduction to programming using the most
common protocol, Message Passing Interface (MPI).

Returning participants will have the opportunity to review with NCSI
staff how they have been able to implement results from the last
workshop into curriculum and to continue curriculum development. Paul
Gray and David Joiner will be the lead instructors, with local
coordination from Henry Neeman.

To offset the costs of the class and to help decrease no-shows, there
will be a $100 registration fee this year, which can be refunded if the
participant withdraws before the cutoff date. There are scholarships
available for the registration fee if a need exists. Participants are
responsible for their own travel, but NCSI will take care of
accommodations, provide a daily per diem for meals, as well as provide
all training and materials free of charge. For more information and to

SUMMARY: The Parallel Computing workshop will be held July 31 through
August 6, 2005 and is for people who want to learn about parallel
computing in order to teach it to others. Space is limited, so we
encourage you to apply as soon as possible. Applications are due by June
1 2004.  

 

DETAILS: The National Computational Science Institute (NCSI)
http://www.computationalscience.org/ sponsors a variety of summer
Computational Science & Engineering workshops for faculty who want to
teach this topic to their students. The workshop targets faculty who
intend to teach High Performance Computing (HPC) to their students.

 

Applications are due by June 1 2004.

 

PREREQUISITES:

a) Familiarity with at least one high-performance programming language
(e.g., C, C++, Fortran 77, Fortran 90 or Java)

b) Familiarity with Unix-style operating systems (including but not
limited to any of Linux, BSD, or any proprietary single-vendor flavor of
Unix)

c) An interest in incorporating topics from HPC into the curriculum.

Attendees are expected to begin to develop curricular material during
the workshop and to present it to their fellow attendees.

 

Please feel free to forward this note to others who may be interested.
