All courses consist of lectures and hands-on sessions where everyone can try out the tools on several exercises using different parallel computing hardware.

ectures:

* Lecture 1:

Directive-based programming
Michael WOLFE (The Portland Group, Inc.)

The lecture will introduce high-level directive-based programming for heterogeneous architectures, such as CPUs connected to GPUs or Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. We will discuss what kinds of programs are amenable to acceleration with these architectures, and the advantages and penalties of high-level programming. We will go into details of OpenACC, and compare to OpenMP and Intel Languages Extensions for Offload, and will use the PGI compilers for demonstration.

DGA 2013 - Workshop on Distance Geometry and Applications

Jun 27 2013 - 18:00
Venue: 

Manaus, Brazil

Short description of the event: 

The aim of the Workshop is to bring together researchers in multidisciplinary fields, with emphasis on Distance Geometry (DG). Distance Geometry is an area of research already consolidated, with Mathematics and Computer Science as key areas at its foundation. The concept of distance is essential to the human experience and DG puts this concept as the main object in a given geometric structure. The fundamental problem of DG is to find a set of points in a given geometric space whose distances between some of these points are known.

The topics of interest of the workshop are theory, algorithms, and applications of Distance Geometry related to the following research areas, but are not limited to:
Astronomy
Coding Theory
Computer Networks
Data Visualization
Geometric Structures
Graph Theory
Molecular Structure
Pattern Recognition
Psychology
Robotics
Statics
Statistics
