Argonne training program on extreme-scale computing — March 31 application deadline

Computational scientists now have the opportunity to apply for the upcoming Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC), to take place from August 3-15, 2014. The program provides intensive hands-on training on the key skills, approaches, and tools to design, implement, and execute computational science and engineering applications on current supercomputers and the HPC systems of the future. As a bridge to that future, this two-week program to be held at the Pheasant Run Resort in suburban Chicago fills the gap that exists in the training computational scientists typically receive through formal education or shorter courses. Instructions for applying to the program can be found at extremecomputingtraining.anl.gov. The deadline for applying is March 31, 2014. With the challenges posed by the architecture and software environments of today’s most powerful supercomputers, and even greater complexity on the horizon from next-generation and exascale systems, there is a critical need for specialized, in-depth training for the computational scientists poised to facilitate breakthrough science and engineering using these unprecedented resources.
