Speedup High-Performance Computing Workshop, University of Basel, Feb 2012

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

We would like to draw your attention,  to the upcoming

40th SPEEDUP Workshop on High Performance Computing,
taking place on February 6/7, 2012, at University of Basel, Switzerland

The workshop is open for researchers, students and scientific and industrial partners. The intention  is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing. Presentations will focus on algorithms, applications, and software issues related to high-performance parallel computing. The focus of the workshop on Monday February 6 will be “Scalable Heterogeneous Computing and Programming Models for Computational Science”.

More information and a registration page for the Colloquium or Colloquium+Tutorial are available here »

The fees are:

  • Colloquium: CHF 50, free for students
  • Tutorial  : CHF 150, CHF 50 for students

The Colloquium Day, February 6, 2012

The following invited speakers will present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing (6 talks of 45 minutes each + poster session):

  • Prof. Jeff Vetter (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

39th SPEEDUP Workshop on High Performance Computing,
September 6/7, 2010, at ETH Zurich


The intention of this workshop is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing. Presentations will focus on algorithms, applications, and software issues related to high-performance parallel computing.  The focus of the workshop on Monday Sept 6 will be on software environments for large scale simulations and on the issues of fault tolerance in massively parallel systems.

The scientific program of Sept 6 consists of seven 45-minute talks and a poster session.  Please encourage your collaborators to uploaded an abstract.  The deadline is August 28, 2010.

On Sept 7 we will organize a tutorial on hybrid MPI/OpenMP computing. It will be taught by Timothy Stitt and Neil Stringfellow (both CSCS, Manno, Switzerland).

There is a small fee of CHF 50 payable at the workshop.  For students the workshop is free of charge.

Details and the registration form can be found at http://www.speedup.ch/.

The fee for the tutorial are CHF150 payable at the workshop or tutorial.  For students the price is CHF50.

Organizing Committee:Andreas Adelmann (PSI Villigen), Peter Arbenz (ETH Zurich), Olaf Schenk (University of Basel), Vittoria Rezzonico (EPF Lausanne), Ales Janka (University of Fribourg).
