Description

Lectures on Modern Scientific Programming


The Wigner GPU-Lab organizes a three-day seminar series on Modern Scientific Programming in 23-25 November, 2015. These lectures review topics relevant to everyone working on scientific simulations or high-performance computing.
The lectures are highly recommended to those who are:

  • Actively engaged in high-performance computing or analysis
  • Author code where execution time is important
  • Wish to learn (more) about parallel computing
  • University students who plan to use programming daily in their field

The lectures may be of interest to those who are:

  • Using interpreted math environments (Mathematica, Maple, Matlab, etc.) and wish to understand the run time costs
  • Seasoned programmers but care to learn good practices and a few tricks

The lectures are free to attend, but registration is required for the secured entry to the KFKI Campus!
