An optional one-day preparatory programming course on August 20 is also included. To earn the five credits this course carries, the student must complete a post-course project. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own problems or programs for discussion and projects. Lecturers and PDC staff members will assist in the computer labs.
Industrial participation is very welcome.
Grants for academic participants will be based on applications. Real-world examples from chemistry and electromagnetics show the entire process of designing a parallel solution to a scientific problem. Among the Lecturers Mats Brorsson is an associate professor in the department of information technology at Lund University and is a former member of the CacheMire group. He is an expert in high-performance computing and numerical analysis. Mike Hammill, PDC, has been working as a consultant, trainer, and coordinator in high-performance computing since 1984.
