Blue Waters Webinar Series


Blue Waters is providing a series of free webinars throughout the year. The webinars are conducted every Wednesday, with a few exceptions to avoid conflicts with major HPC events. Most sessions are an hour in length, although a few of them can go longer. Each session starts at 10 AM CDT.

Best Practices for HPC Software Developers (WEBINAR SERIES)


The HPC Best Practices webinars address issues faced by developers of computational science and engineering (CSE) software on high-performance computers (HPC). Participation is free and open to the public; however, registration is required for each event. This series is designed for HPC software developers who are seeking help in increasing their team’s productivity, as well as facility staff who interact extensively with users. The webinars have been organized by the IDEAS project in collaboration with the DOE/ASCR computing facilities (ALCF, NERSC, and OLCF), and the Exascale Computing Project (ECP).

ATPESC Videos


The Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) provides intensive, two weeks of training on the key skills, approaches, and tools to design, implement, and execute computational science and engineering applications on current high-end computing systems and the leadership-class computing systems of the future. The curriculum covers computer architectures, parallel programming models and languages, performance portability, algorithms and mathematical software, data management and analysis, debugging and performance analysis tools and techniques, software engineering, and approaches for working in teams on large multi-purpose codes. The videos of the past programs are posted on the Argonne Youtube Channel and allow the larger scientific and interested community to learn and benefit from the material presented at the event.

ACM SIGHPC EDUCATION CHAPTER


The SIGHPC Education chapter has as its purpose the promotion of interest in and knowledge of applications of High Performance Computing (HPC). Our education and training subcommittee lists education and training materials that focus on computational science skills. If you know of other relevant materials, our committee will review them for possible addition to this list.

PEARC Conference Series


The PEARC organization coordinates the PEARC conference series in order to provide a forum for discussing challenges, opportunities, and solutions among the broad range of participants in the research computing community. This community-driven effort builds on successes of the past, and aims to grow and be more inclusive by involving additional local, regional, national, and international cyberinfrastructure and research computing partners spanning academia, government and industry. The PEARC conference series is working to integrate and meet the collective interests of our growing community.
