[Alexander B Pacheco]

Dear All,

LSU Information Technology Services, LSU Center for Computation & Technology and the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) are pleased to announce the 3rd Annual High Performance Computing Week from June 2nd through June 6th, 2014 at the Louisiana Digital Media Center (LDMC).

3rd Annual LONI Parallel Programming Workshop from June 2nd to June 4th
This workshop will first introduce users to the concepts of Parallel Programming, cover how those concepts apply to solving problems frequently encountered in numerical studies such as matrix-matrix multiplication, using various parallel programming techniques such as OpenMP and MPI. This workshop will be hands-on oriented, so participants should have prior knowledge on programming, C/C++ or Fortran is required.
Venue: 1034 LDMC
Seats available: 35
Registration:
opens: May 1, 2014
deadline: open as long as seats are available

3rd Annual High Performance Computing User Symposium on June 4th and June 5th
The 3rd Annual HPC User Symposium will run from Wednesday evening (June 4th) through Thursday afternoon (June 5th). A poster session featuring research done on HPC systems will be held on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, there be a few invited talks and a series of contributed talks from students, postdocs, faculty and research staff. All participants are encouraged to submit an abstract for a poster or contributed talk. Preference will be given to students and postdocs for a 15-20 minute contributed talk. The symposium is open to all, with the hope of engendering cross-discipline communication and exchange of methods and experiences.  This is an opportunity for the user community to come together and share experiences and methods. Anyone interested in HPC is more than welcome to come by and find out how HPC systems are utilized in research at LONI member institutions.
Venue: LDMC Lobby and Theatre
Seats available: No limit
Registration opens on April 1, 2014.
Registration deadline: If presenting May 15, 2014
