This training focuses on parallel programming on GPUs. No fee is foreseen.
This event builds upon the first course on porting algorithms to heterogeneous architectures, which was organised in 2023. It expands its scope and covers selected topics in greater detail than the previous training.
The course is primarily intended for personnel hired through the ICSC project to work on projects and research activities within the framework of Spoke 2 (“Fundamental Research and Space Economy”); however, it is also open to anyone interested within the fundamental physics community, including, in particular, Ph.D. students and young post-docs.
Main lecturers: Andrea Bocci (CERN), Felice Pantaleo (CERN)
Facilitators for the hands-on sessions: Simone Balducci and Aurora Perego.
Technical support: Daniele Spiga.
Additional activities are foreseen during the week. For example, a seminar, on the optimisation of XGBoost with Optuna by U.Sozbilir (University of Bari) is already planned.
Details on how to connect to the computing resources used for the training will be sent by email to the registered participants.
The meeting will be held in Bologna at the historic building housing the Physics and Astronomy Department, located at via Irnerio 46, 40126 Bologna (BO), Italy.
