The Summer School on High Performance and Technical Computing is an annual educational event for students, postdocs and researchers in the areas of computational science. Jointly organized by SHARCNET (Ontario-West), SciNet (Ontario-Central) and the Centre for Advanced 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 computing related subjects, such as Introductions to OpenMP, MPI, programming of GPUs, Python programming, R programming, Visualization with ParaView and more. Courses will be offered in a dual-stream format. Here is a preliminary Time Table. Note that details are still subject to change, so please re-visit this or the main page.
