Parking: The yellow lots are open for parking without permits and lot 206 (D6/D7 on the map link below) for Nichols Hall is mostly yellow spaces. The southern part of the lot is red so please watch which row you are in. Lot 300 is also yellow for the Lied center and is right across the street.  The dorms open tomorrow so lot 300 will be busy closer to the dorms (farther from Nichols Hall).

This one-day training will provide software developers the foundation needed for modernizing their code to take advantage of parallel architectures found in both the Intel® Xeon® processor and the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor.

The session will cover:

  • An overview of parallel programming frameworks and optimization guidelines for multi-core CPUs (Intel® Xeon®) and many-core coprocessors (Intel® Xeon Phi™):
  • Discussions about three layers of parallelism: SIMD, Threads, Cluster environment
  • Tips for quick porting/development of HPC software applications
  • Real-life examples of code and optimization techniques
  • Hardware solution and corresponding software implementations, APIs, and framework
