ICCS 2009 Offers Free Tutorials on May 24

BATON ROUGE, La., April 22 -- The ninth annual International Conference on Computational Science will take place in downtown Baton Rouge this May, and conference organizers will offer three free tutorials to kick off the event on Sunday, May 24.

The LSU Center for Computation & Technology, or CCT, is hosting this conference, which brings together scientific researchers from around the world to discuss the latest high-performance computing developments and breakthroughs. The conference in Baton Rouge will mark only the third time ICCS has taken place in the United States.

"ICCS 2009: Compute. Discover. Innovate." will take place May 25-27 at the Hilton Capitol Center, but the conference will have opening-day tutorials there on May 24. These tutorials are free, but participants must register for them in advance. Tutorial attendees do not need to pay full-conference registration to attend. Participants who plan to attend ICCS 2009 do not need to pay any additional fees to attend the tutorial sessions, but should register for those ahead of time.

The ICCS 2009 tutorials are:

Parallel Performance Evaluation Tools for HPC Systems -- this tutorial discusses cutting-edge developments for top high-performance computing, parallel and cluster systems, showing the potential of modern tools for program analysis.

This tutorial will last all day, from 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Presenters are Allen D. Malony, University of Oregon; Markus Geimer, Jülich Supercomputing Centre; Andreas Knüpfer, Technical University Dresden; Rick Kufrin, NCSA/University of Illinois; and Shirley Moore, University of Tennessee.

GPU Processors for Data Parallel Solutions for High-Performance Computation Research – this tutorial offers an introduction to data- parallel programming models for GPU (graphics processor unit) Computing using the CUDA architecture on NVIDIA GPUs.

This tutorial is presented through NVIDIA, and will take place from 8 a.m. until noon.

Developing HPC Applications with the Cactus Framework -- this tutorial will describe how modern frameworks, such as the Cactus Computational Toolkit Framework, can enable development for complex applications, allowing researchers to take advantage of new supercomputers and cyberinfrastructure.

This tutorial will take place from 1:30-5:30 p.m. Presenters are Erik Schnetter, Frank Loeffler and Eloisa Bentivegna, all from CCT.
