2015 International High Performance Computing (HPC) Summer School

国际高性能计算(HPC)暑期班将于2015年6月21日至26日在加拿大多伦多大学举行。HPC暑期班的目标是：a)扩大与会者关于高性能计算(HPC)及其在科学和工程多个领域的应用的知识；b)鼓励学员继续深造和从事有助于推进科学发现的职业生涯；以及c)在演讲者和与会者之间建立新的大学友谊、伙伴关系和合作(国内和国际)。这个暑期班将为来自加拿大、欧洲、日本和美国的大约80名研究生和博士后研究人员提供一个独特的机会，向来自多个学科的领先计算科学家学习和接触。与会者将与来自多个学科的科学家讨论他们利用HPC推进研究所面临的挑战和机遇。参与者将参与实践活动，以熟悉他们可以用来改进自己的研究实践的高性能计算工具。学生们将参加为期五天的大小小组讨论，以应对推进高性能计算研究的挑战。参与者将从讲演者和HPC专业人员中获得导师，他们将获得许多与导师进行非正式讨论的机会。暑期班旨在为学员提供一种独特的体验，使他们成为有效的国际研发团队成员。

An International High-Performance Computing (HPC) Summer School will be held at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada on June 21-26, 2015. The goals of HPC Summer School are to: a) expand the knowledge of the attendees about high performance computing (HPC) and its applications in multiple fields of science and engineering; b) encourage the participants to continue to pursue advanced studies and professional careers that contribute to advancing scientific discovery; and c) foster new collegial friendships, partnerships, and collaborations (nationally and internationally) among the presenters and attendees. This Summer School will provide a unique opportunity for about 80 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States to learn from and to engage with leading computational scientists from numerous disciplines. The participants will talk with scientists from multiple disciplines about the challenges and opportunities their have pursued utilizing HPC to advance their research. The participants will be engaged in hands-on activities to become familiar with HPC tools they may use to improve their own research practices. The students will participate in five days of large and small group discussions to address the challenges in advancing HPC research. The participants will be assigned mentors from among the presenters and HPC professionals, and they will be provided with numerous opportunities for informal discussions with mentors. The Summer School is designed to offer a unique experience for preparing the attendees to be effective, contributing members of international research and development teams.
