Weiyang Lin and Ethan Hereth, both PhD Candidates in Computational Science: Computational Engineering at UTC have been accepted into the ATPESC for 2016. With around 65 participants accepted each year, admission to the ATPESC program is highly competitive. In 2015, Computational Engineering PhD Candidate Chao Liu was accepted and gained invaluable knowledge from the experience.
The Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) provides intensive, two-week training on the key skills, approaches, and tools to design, implement, and execute computational science and engineering applications on current high-end computing systems and the leadership-class computing systems of the future.
As a bridge to that future, this two-week program fills the gap that exists in the training computational scientists typically receive through formal education or other shorter courses. ATPESC is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
The program pans two weeks, with lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions every day except Sunday. In addition to daily exercises, an exam isgiven at the end of the program.
Renowned scientists, HPC experts, and leaders will serve as lecturers and will guide the hands-on laboratory sessions. The core curriculum will address:
- Computer architectures and their predicted evolution
- Programming methodologies effective across a variety of today’s supercomputers and that are expected to be applicable to exascale systems
- Approaches for performance portability among current and future architectures
- Numerical algorithms and mathematical software
- Performance measurement and debugging tools
- Data analysis, visualization, and methodologies and tools for Big Data applications
- Approaches to building community codes for HPC systems
