| − | Advances in technology applied to medical and clinical research have led to the availability of large volumes of data from a variety of research studies and clinical environments. This data can be processed, integrated, federated, stored and analyzed to present opportunities for new understanding of diseases and treatments and has the potential to help save lives and billions of dollars throughout the health care system as well as, potentially helping create new products, methodologies and jobs.

| |
| − | 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. The next step was the usage of OpenMP compiler directives to assist the compiler and convert existing serial programs into multi-threaded ones minimum effort. Finally, the usage of Posix thread-libraries was considered.

| |
| − | On both days, we spent some time using a dedicated mini-cluster to give the participants an opportunity to apply their newly gained knowledge, and to gain some hands-on experience.

Upcoming Workshops
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. Jointly organized by SHARCNET (Ontario-West), SciNet(Ontario-Central) and the Centre for Advance Computing (Ontario-East), attendees are provided with opportunities to learn and share knowledge and experience in high performance and technical computing. This all-week series of workshops will cover a range of high-performance computing related subjects. The Summer School will be conducted in three instalments for the different regions of Ontario:
- McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, May 30 - June 3
- University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, July 11 - 15
- University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, August 8 - 12
