Bringing over 100 researchers together in Barcelona, the 7th edition of the Programming and Tuning Massively Parallel Systems summer school (PUMPS) started today.
The summer school is aimed at enriching the skills of researchers, graduate students and teachers with cutting-edge technique and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.
Summer School Co-Directors: Mateo Valero (BSC and UPC) and Wen-mei Hwu (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).
Organized by:
Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (University of Illinois)
Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC)
HiPEAC Network of Excellence (HiPEAC)
PUMPS is part of this year PRACE Advanced Training Centre program
