Pete Beckman Presents: Exascale Architecture Trends

“Argonne National Laboratory is one of the labs helping to lead the exascale push for the nation with the DOE. We lead in a numbers of areas with software and storage systems and applied math. And we’re really focusing, our expertise is focusing on those new ideas, those novel new things that will allow us to sort of leapfrog the standard slow evolution of technology and get something further out ahead, three years, five years out ahead. And that’s where our research is focused.”

Argonne’s Dr. Marius Stan from Breaking Bad on Computational Science in Cinema

In this video from the recent Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing event, Argonne computational scientist Dr. Marius Stan discusses Computational Science in Cinema. You may know Dr Stan from the role he played as Bogdan Wolynetz, the car wash owner on the hit TV show Breaking Bad.

Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Set for August, 2015

Argonne will host their 2015 ATPESC Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing for computational scientists. The event takes place August 2-14 in Chicago. “The program provides intensive hands-on training on the key skills, approaches and tools to design, implement, and execute computational science and engineering applications on current supercomputers and the HPC systems of the future. As a bridge to that future, this two-week program to be held at the Pheasant Run Resort in suburban Chicago fills many gaps that exist in the training computational scientists typically receive through formal education or shorter courses.”

Bill Gropp Presents: MPI for Scalable Computing

In this video from the 2014 Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing, Bill Gropp from NCSA presents: Cost of Unintended Synchronization. “At ATPESC 2014, we captured 67 hours of lectures in 86 videos of presentations by pioneers and elites in the HPC community on topics ranging from programming techniques and numerical algorithms best suited for leading-edge HPC systems to trends in HPC architectures and software most likely to provide performance portability through the next decade and beyond.”

Argonne HPC Training for the Next Generation of Scientists

The Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing starts next month. Its organizer, Paul Messina, calls on more institutions to offer such training and influence university curricula.
