[LA-SiGMA] HPC Training: CUDA Programming

[Alexander Pacheco]

Dear All,

The next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 9:00 AM in 
307 Frey and broadcast through Adobe Connect for remote users.

Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013: CUDA Programming
Schedule:
Training Lecture: 9AM - Noon
Hands-On and Consultation: 1PM - 4PM
This tutorial is a basic inroduction to programming GPUs using Nvidia's 
programming environment. Basics of the GPU architecture and CUDA C 
programming language will be covered. Some simple examples demonstrating 
basic techniques for getting greater performance out of GPUs will also 
be discussed.
*Prerequisites*: /No prior experience with GPU is required. Experience 
with C or Fortran will be useful.////Exercises will be done on LSU HPC 
cluster SuperMike II. *Training accounts on SuperMike II will be 
provided to in person participants only. LONI users who are not eligible 
for LSU HPC resources will need to have access to a computer with Nvidia 
graphics card and CUDA compiler.*/

Next HPC Training (last training session for the Fall 2013 semester)
Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013: Introduction to OpenFOAM
Schedule:
Training Lecture: 9AM - Noon
Hands-On and Consultation: 1PM - 4PM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 
software package developed by OpenCFD Ltd at ESI Group and distributed 
by the OpenFOAM Foundation. This training will provide a brief 
introduction to OpenFOAM and how to use OpenFOAM under HPC environment. 
No prior knowledge of OpenFOAM, C++ or Linux is required but some basic 
knowledge of Linux and programming is beneficial.
*Prerequisites*: /Access to a computer with OpenFOAM (2.x.x preferred) 
installed. LONI cluster QuenBee and LSU HPC cluster Super Mike II have 
OpenFOAM installed and //*training accounts will be provided for in 
person participants only.*/

*Note: We reserve the right to cancel a training session if there are 
less than 5 registered participants, please register if you plan on 
attending the training sessions. Registration closes at 8AM on the day
