PUMPS+AI ACM Europe Summer School, 2024, July 8-12th
PUMPS+AI 2024 has been selected an ACM Europe Seasonal School since 2023.
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) currently offers a number of courses covering CUDA architecture and programming languages for parallel computing. Please contact us for possible collaborations.
The 14th edition of the Programming and Tuning Massively Parallel Systems + Artificial Intelligence summer school (PUMPS+AI) is aimed at enriching the skills of researchers, graduate students and instructors with cutting-edge technique and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators, with a special focus on artificial intelligence.
-
Summer School Co-Directors: Mateo Valero (BSC and UPC) and Wen-mei Hwu (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign / NVIDIA)

- Prerequisites for the course are:
-
Basic CUDA knowledge is required to attend the course. Applicants that cannot certify their experience in CUDA programming will be asked to take a short on-line course covering the necessary introductory topics
-
C, C++, Java, or equivalent programming knowledge. Skills in parallel programming will be helpful
-
Preliminary Overview
-
Registration for the course is free for attendees from academia and public institutions. Please note that travel, lodging, and meals are not covered. Applicants from non-academic institutions (companies), please contact us by email at pumps at bsc.es for sponsorship possibilities.
-
By the end of the summer school, participants will:
-
Be able to design algorithms (including deep learning / AI) that are suitable for accelerators.
-
Understand the most important architectural performance considerations for developing parallel applications.
-
Be exposed to computational thinking skills for accelerating applications in science and engineering.
-
Engage computing accelerators on science and engineering breakthroughs.
-
-
Programming Languages: CUDA, MPI, OmpSs, OpenACC
-
Hands-on Labs: Afternoon labs with teaching assistants for each audience/level.
-
Participants are expected to bring their own laptops to access the servers with GPU accelerators.
-
The afternoon lab sessions will provide hands-on experience with various languages and tools covered in the lectures and will comprise a brief introduction to the programming assignments, followed by independent work periods. Teaching assistants will be available in person and on the web to help with assignments.
