This site contains the general information for the 2023 Summer School in Advanced Research Computing, put on by ACENET.

General Information

The ACENET Summer School in Advanced Research Computing seeks to educate researchers in those tools and techniques used in high-performance computing and scientific computation. Topics will include general parallel computing, OpenMP, GPGPU, and MPI programming, and machine learning.

Who: The course is aimed at researchers, both academic and industrial. The background expected is typically that of a graduate student, although both advanced undergraduates and those who have finished (or never been to) graduate school may expect to benefit. Participants attending the school must have familiarity with the Unix command line, and some level of programming experience. Participating in the ACENET Basics Series would be a great foundation for the school.

Requirements: This course will be delivered on-line.

• You must have a computer and internet service of sufficient quality to participate in a Zoom videoconference. We recommend a headset.
• You may also find a second monitor useful if you can obtain one.
• For software requirements, see "Setup" below.
• You will be expected to abide by Software Carpentry's Code of Conduct.
