Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from institutions in Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, or the United States are invited to apply for the 14th International High Performance Computing (HPC) Summer School. The school is held July 6-11, 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal, and is sponsored by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) via the HPC SPECTRA project in Europe; the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre (Pawsey) in Australia; the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (DRAC); the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Japan; the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and the University of Texas at Austin in the U.S.; and other organizations from South Africa (NICIS CHPC and NITheCS) and the U.K. (EPCC).
Summer school topics
The summer school helps students further their knowledge of computational sciences with major state-of-the-art aspects of HPC and big data analytics for a variety of scientific disciplines. It also helps students build professional networks and get advanced mentoring, while encouraging international exchange for further career options.
Leading computational scientists and HPC technologists from partner regions will offer instruction in parallel sessions on a variety of topics. Sample technical topics include the following:
- HPC and big data challenges in major scientific disciplines
- Shared-memory programming
- Distributed-memory programming
- GPU programming
- Performance analysis and optimization on modern CPUs and GPUs
- Software engineering
- Numerical libraries
- Big data analytics
- Deep learning
- Scientific visualization
- Australian, Canadian, European, Japanese, and U.S. HPC infrastructures
