2020 Virtual ALCF Computational Performance Workshop

Workshop
2020 ALCF Computational Performance Workshop

Participate in our virtual workshop to boost code performance and achieve computational readiness for INCITE and other ALCF allocation programs.

The 2020 ALCF Computational Performance Workshop will be hosted as an online-only event.

Join us May 5-7, 2020, for an experience designed to help you boost code performance and achieve computational readiness on ALCF systems. Participants will have an opportunity to:

  • Work with ALCF and industry professionals through collaborative online sessions
  • Participate in guided hands-on exercises
  • Benchmark and debug your code with exclusive reservations on ALCF computing systems
  • Learn how to improve utilization on Theta/Cooley and prepare for future ALCF computing resources
  • Explore advanced techniques and tools to enhance code performance and expand your data science skills
  • Prepare for a major allocation award (e.g., INCITE, ALCC, ALCF Data Science Program)


Registration deadline: April 7, 2020
