Overview
The Institute will not only provide the researchers with an introduction to using TACC’s computing resources, but will also provide an introduction to high performance computing, visualization, and data intensive computing. TACC staff will deliver presentations and lead interactive lab sessions focused on using TACC’s advanced computing resources and technology, such as Stampede, Maverick and Lonestar.
Lectures and Labs: TACC staff will deliver presentations and lead interactive laboratory sessions. Some of the topics that will be covered are:
- Obtaining access to TACC resources and services
- Reviewing the hardware and software available on TACC resources
- Developing parallel programs with OpenMP and MPI
- Using visualization and data analysis software and systems
- Programming GPGPUs and MIC
- Analyzing and optimizing application performance, and debugging
Applications Seminars: Leading computational researchers will discuss their work, including examples of how they are utilizing TACC’s resources.
Consulting: During the Institute, TACC staff will be available to assist participants in applying the techniques and technologies covered in the Institute to their own applications.
