The '''Compute Ontario Summer School on High Performance and Technical Computing''' is an annual educational event for students, post-docs and researchers in the areas of computational science. This "satellite" Summer School provides an opportunity to experience some of the contents of this year's Summer School (which too place at the University of Ottawa) in Kingston. It is aimed at students and researchers from Queen's, RMC, and the St Lawrence College. Everyone else is, of course, welcome. This 3-day series of workshops will cover a range of high-performance computing related subjects.

Software Carpentry's mission is to help scientists and engineers get more research done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic lab skills for scientific computing. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, and task automation. We are also giving a basic introduction to the usage of HPC resources such as the clusters at HPCVL. After this workshop, students will be able to effectively use UNIX systems, access and utilize supercomputing resources, and write basic programs for use in their research.

=== '''Workshop Reading Week 2019 : How To Use a Cluster''' ===
 +
 
 +
Computing has become and indispensable tool for virtually every field of research, ranging from the obvious such as high-energy physics to the far-from such as art preservation. The capacity required for research computing is often beyond what can covered by local resources in the research lab. Instead, shared resources are required, ranging from University-based ones such as the Queen's '''Centre for Advanced Computing (CAC)''', to national ones such as "Niagara" at the University of Toronto. There is a great deal of collaboration between these Compute Centres, and many of the resources are free. In this two-day workshop we aim to cover some of the aspects of using such compute resources. We will provide access to a scheduled compute cluster and explain the usage from the ground up. The approach is "hands-on". There will be (almost) no slides, so bring your laptop. The subjects are:
 +
 
 +
* How to get access to Compute Resources in Canada
 +
* Accessing and using a Linux system (Intro to bash)
 +
* Submitting jobs on a cluster (Intro to High Performance Computing)
 +
* Basic programming (Intro to Python Programming)
 +
* Simple MPI programming (Intro to parallel programming using Python/MPI)
 +
 
 +
This workshop is meant as a "crash course" to Cluster usage. The participants will be supplied with temporary accounts on a compute cluster.

The workshop aimed to give a thorough introduction to multi-threading on shared-memory platforms, starting with the simplest of approaches, automatic parallelization through an enabled compiler.

Finally, the usage of Posix thread-libraries was considered.
