Program Details

The Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing will cover the key topics that computational science and engineering researchers must master to develop and use leading-edge applications. The program fills a gap in the training that most computational scientists receive; hence it will provide a more comprehensive program than typical short courses. Individuals with expertise and leadership responsibilities in each of these key topic areas will serve as the respective lecturers and the hands-on laboratory session guides.
The core of the program will focus on programming methodologies that are effective across a variety of supercomputers and that are expected to be applicable to exascale systems. Multiple approaches will be covered but the emphasis will be on unifying concepts and levels of abstraction that provide migration paths and performance portability among current and future architectures. Additional topics to be covered include computer architectures, mathematical models and numerical algorithms, approaches to building community codes for HPC systems, and methodologies and tools relevant for Big Data applications.
The program will span two weeks, with lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions every day except Sunday. In addition to daily exercises, an exam will be given at the end of the program.
The program will be intense and attendees are expected to be present for the duration of the program.
