AGENDA: The first two days of this workshop have been designed to introduce participants to the CRAY T3E environment, compiling, debugging, job submission, and parallel programming concepts. On the third day, more advanced topics will be covered, including parallel programming techniques (message passing, shared memory libraries), code performance and optimization strategies. To ensure quality training, our workshops incorporate both lectures and extensive hands-on lab sessions. Programming exercises are carefully designed to reinforce concepts and techniques taught in class. Our instructors have strong scientific and technical backgrounds and are available for individual consultation during lab sessions. In addition to the lab exercises, lab time will also be available for participants to optimize their own code with the help and supervision of our instructors. Participants are encouraged to bring their own code, but not required. ==> A working knowledge of FORTRAN or C and UNIX is required. ==> Parallel computing experience is not necessary. REGISTRATION: Registration fees are waived to students, professors or researchers associated with academic institutions in the state of Pennsylvania. Please complete and return the registration form below by December 28, 1998 to: Workshop Application Committee ATTN: Dr. Marcela Madrid Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center 4400 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213.
