Feb. 2, 2023 — CERN today announced the opening of applications for the 12th Thematic CERN School of Computing (tCSC 2023).
tCSC 2023 will take place on June 11-17, 2023 in Croatia. The program will focus on the theme of Scientific Software for Heterogeneous Architectures, covering areas such as computer architectures, parallel and optimized software, and heterogeneous programming (CPU, GPU, HPC etc.).
This school is organized by CERN in collaboration with the University of Split. The school will take place in Split, Croatia, and be hosted at the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences (MedILS) Conference Centre. The Centre is a historical renovated building situated in a wooded and landscaped park located on the Adriatic Sea coast, a few kilometers from the center of Split.
