Lecture: High Performance Computing, Technologies and Opportunities — Wednesday, May 8

This talk will provide a high-level introduction to high-performance computing. The first half of the talk will be an overview of high-performance computing, including common parallel programming models and how best to run them on high-performance computers. Both traditional CPU and GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) architectural models will be covered. In the second half, we will review some resources for high-performance computing that are available now, at UM and beyond, including UM’s Flux high-performance computing cluster and the XSEDE virtual cyber infrastructure. Attendees will come away from this talk with a broad overview of, and concrete next steps to take in, engaging with high-performance computing. Time: 3-5 p.m., Wednesday, May 8 Location: Screening Room, 2160 Shapiro Library, 919 South University, Central Campus Session level: Beginner Sponsor(s): Advanced Research Computing at U-M (ARC), LSA Information Technology Advocacy and Research Support Presenter: Charles Antonelli, LSA Information Technology For more information and to register, please visit https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/high-performance-computing-technologies-and-opportunities/
