Introduction to Parallel Programming

VENUE

Training Venue

Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) is located within the campus of the Technical University of Catalonia, and has access to state of the art training facilities. The Technical University of Catalonia, offers variety of training spaces. The University campus has special training rooms equipped with high-tech educational infrastructure including recording and broadcast equipment, high speed internet connection and sufficient number of workstations.

Barcelona offers a combination of a spectacular set of leisure activities, and good weather, which makes it an attractive venue for any type of event. 27 nationalities are represented amongst the BSC’s working team; this creates a true-pan European atmosphere where students, trainees or visitors feel usually very welcomed and easily integrated.

Their mission is to carry out and coordinate training and education activities that enable the European research community to utilise the computational infrastructure available throughout PRACE. The long-term vision is that such centres will become the hubs and key drivers of European high-performance computing education. As such we provide training and education for generic and area specific subjects related to Parallel Computing, HPC and Supercomputing.
• BSC has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa national distinction recognising its excellence in research and leading position in its outreach activities. This recognises that an integral part of the BSC’s mission, as a service to the society, is to promote HPC, Supercomputing, and Computational Sciences through educational and professional training programmes.
• BSC as coordinator of the Spanish Supercomputing Network, organizes periodically technical seminars and specific user training to improve the skills of the technical staff of each node.-
• BSC team of trainers are experienced in delivering general courses in HPC and Computational Sciences in addition to our specialisation in Performance Monitoring, Debugging and Programming Models. BSC is continuously building experience in state of the art technologies, and its experts work together with technology vendors in defining standards and tools, like for example CUDA together with Nvidia, specific parallel programming techniques for IBM architectures, and design of software for the mobile and desktop market segments with Microsoft.
